Most of them are not really traditional. They were invented as part of Victoria’s PR when she needed royal rep washing.

Yep. We don’t vote directly for the PM as we are not a presidential country. The PM is merely the leader of the governing party. Truss was voted as leader by her party’s members. She is Primus inter Pares. Maybe Prima!

Quit his Royal Marine training back in the 1980s for a life in entertainment. Think standing guard in his It’s A Royal Knockout costume might have been deemed inappropriate.

So that’s all three royal brothers pictured with notorious pedos/ sex offenders.
Charles and Jimmy Savile
Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein
Edward and Stuart Hall
Not being critical of Charles and Edward but quite a coincidence.

I wonder how many incumbent Manchester City players we can find who have had pictures taken with Mendy?
The royals met everyone and their Dog, and they spent a lot of time in the company of the BBC who hid these filth merchants.

He always wanted to be in the arts but the palace wouldn't let him.
A huge amount of People knew all about Saville and his dirty deeds and I would imagine these included the Royal minders, which makes their judgement of "friends" worrying in the extreme.

Whilst I take your point about being pictured with a bad person doesn't automatically make you a bad person, I could only really absolve Edward of any fault.
Hall wasn’t known as a wrong’un until he was accused of it and prosecuted pretty quickly (well, compared to now).
Epstein had a lot of accusations and a cloud over his name for years and Andrew kept having his picture taken with him and got his mum to stave off accusations of his wrong doing with £12m of our money.
Savile was “notoriously” a wrong’un. For whatever reason, probably his own cunning, failed to be caught whilst he was still alive. Still, his disguise was immense. Nobody that chooses to look like a paedo, is a paedo, right?
The royals have a huge, OTT, PR department. It seems to fail when it comes to paedos.

Make no mistake mate I think Andrew is a bad one, there's enough smoke to get him thrown under a legal bus.

True.
As AHT says, Edward has a good excuse and Charles slightly less so but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Very much a wrong un, he was despised in the military by one and all.

I look at them as flawed humans, Andrew less so.
If truth be told I disregarded Anne after the Dog incidents.

Her Dogs biting people mate.
Princess Anne guilty over dog attack
The Princess Royal today became the first member of the royal family to be convicted of a criminal offence as she pleaded guilty to a charge under the dangerous dogs act.

I was about to say the same, she is a dogger? ;)

One of her dogs, a three-year-old English bull terrier called Dotty, bit two children as they walked in Windsor Great Park on April 1 this year.
Dam, I though it was going to be more perverse ;)

The right thing to do would have been for her to get the dog put down, but as it’s a single incident 20 years ago I can’t get too bothered about it.Her Dogs biting people mate.

The problem is that by replacing the PM, you could have a complete change in political direction. Potentially you could go from a social democratic agenda that had broad consensus to a hard-right or hard-left one overnight following a change in PM.
I think that you can make a strong case for the general electorate having a choice.
