I'm very anti Royal but on a personal level I wish her all the best.

I would be more than happy to wave goodbye to the very silly and quasi fascist idea of Royal ascension but I suppose half the country might be owned by oil sheiks if the "Windsors" cleared out.

I think that probably the time has come to pack up the whole feudal nonsense and let them blend into the existing European royalty circuit or something similar.

Anachronistic in the extreme, but harmless. She's really I suppose the last of them that you'd really call a monarch, the others are too much of the modern world.

Still a cracking tourist attraction though.
Whilst the historical sites would still exist, nobody goes to Amsterdam to see the official residence of the Dutch royals, because they are now completely irrelevant.

I can't see King Charles the Turd racking up the tourists, or Will 'nice but Dim'. The pagentry is great but I can't see it really working with William and Kate Windsor. They're too in touch, too ordinary seeming to have that aloofness that an elite requires.

He doesn't have to be Charles III. And i'll bet they do still rack up the tourists, particularly so for the Coronation and all that.

As a celebration I hope The Queen renames The Falklands to 'F*ck You Argies' and decapitates Jeremy Corbyn.

Hurrah!

I read somewhere that he intends to style himself George VII rather than Charles III.

I'm not a great fan of royalty, scale down the dosh etc, but do we really want President Blair or Clegg?

Also keeps up the trend of it going George, not George, George, not George. Meaning Prince George could use his actual name and still continue the pattern.

I'm totally with you but every now and then I think "but if we got rid then Cameron would be president" and that's a thought too far.

 


Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

Possibly the longest BRITISH Monarch, I think the old King of Thailand has been in power one year longer.
Anyway, I hope she pops her clogs very soon...

The HOL has conditioned me so that every time I see a thread about someone I assume they're dead. I even feared for Salako in Palace Talk this morning.

Careful mate you might end up reading your own obituary!.
