This definitely does make us ask some questions about what role the royal family and the monarch have going forward.
I’ve always been a fan of the pomp, the ceremony and the traditions. However, we can definitely have that with a much scaled down royal family, with no overt political influence/duties.
The commonwealth is dead, serves no real purpose and I feel the colonies will equally feel that and move away to republics with the death of the queen.
The idea of a royal class who are better than us simply down to birth is wrong and outdated in today’s world. I really can’t see their relevance anymore.
I somewhat understand why people are so in love with them, a few recent posts in here are almost aghast at someone saying anything negative about them. But they shouldn’t be immune to criticism, critique and analysis.
Ultimately the royal family in their current guise are an out dated, out of place, historic relic.
I do wonder if they’ll change, die or try and hold on.
