Really, only good thing about the royals is a big anniversary, coronation, etc that gives an extra day off.

Apart from that I have no interest .

Just don't agree they are relevant in today's world. They represent the elite.

Really, if the royals bring in more in tourism than they cost? Keep.
If not? Bin off.

I wonder if they do?

I wonder if vast numbers of people travel from across the globe to see the Royals or do they just check out the buildings when they're here.

Can't say I've ever see one myself.
 
I have no interest in the royals at all. I watched the queen's funeral but that was out of respect for the lady and the fact that it was the end of an era. Charles? Meh.
 
Well in an ideal world you could actually talk to your neighbours and share "something", even if its a shared hatred of royalty.
I'm just playing devils advocate i guess.
But this really isn't the right demographic to reason with :P
I guess royalty/royal watching was a pre internet interest/hobby. As someone else says its all just Kardashians and reality TV stars now.
Maybe monarchies are obsolete.
WW3 might help, bit of nationalism.

what's on the menu - Doesn't seem to be any specific dishes we should be cooking - Queen had Queens' pudding;
we can push the boat out for some Duchy originals, or (Asian) King prawns , coronation chickens is a bit passe.

I suppose we'll have to wait for the Crown to catchup to see what Meghan is doing, or provide the inside story on Harrys participation. (South park producers are you listening)

Recipe follows coronation chicken and platinum pudding as suggested centrepiece for parties and events

From coronation chicken to platinum pudding, royal occasions demand a signature dish and King Charles III’s coronation is no exception.

The “coronation quiche” has been personally chosen by the king and Camilla, the Queen Consort, in the hope it will be a centrepiece to many a coronation “Big Lunch” at street parties and community events on 6 May.

The alliterative dish includes spinach, broad beans, cheese and tarragon. Though the recipe, as posted on the royal family’s social media platforms, does contain lard, vegetarians should note it can be “easily adapted to different tastes and preferences”.

A Buckingham Palace chef, dressed in a white uniform embroidered with the late Queen’s EIIR cypher, was shown making the quiche in a video posted on social media.

yes, hadn't realised coronation chicken was lime&ginger too.. that sounds like the myth? when heavy spicing had been used in the uk to mask off meat;

otherwise, a quiche sounds like peasant food, even if eggs have recently suffered from inflation - do a scratch quiche and baked potatoes most weeks.
I suspect venison will be on the post coronation banquet, the deer on the scottish royal estates need to be informed

I'd rather watch the coronation :cry:

Some are nice but our very next door neighbours shout and swear at each other and their kids everyday - then go full on nice middle class act when they've got guests or out and about.

I wouldn't be able to refrain from throwing a quiche at them :D
 
If it's not offal, blood and fat with mead, yards of ale, buxom wenches, jesters and dwarves it's unworthy of any proper English coronation. Quiche indeed, told you he was wet and a bit crackers.... :)
