The British Monarchy

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I don’t think the institution of monarchy and its future is going to be defined by the reaction to the funeral of a woman who has been a constant for most peoples lives.

The death of of the Queen will usher in change. A lot of commonwealth countries will take this opportunity to revisit whether they want the King to be their head of state, and I’m not convinced Charles has the ability or the nous to keep the institution relevant. By that, I mean he is vain, entitled and tin eared.

Now, if it was Anne inheriting the throne, I would be a lot more confident.

Queen Anne is dead mate.

The King of this country isn't defined by the commonwealth it's defined by this country, personally I couldn't care less about the commonwealth.

I stand by the point I made on Charles vs Anne. Her death changes nothing :)

It’s one of the monarchy’s biggest strengths and I would argue one of the best examples of ‘soft’ British power, having the British monarch as other countries head of state.

To be fair mate I am not interested in the power either, hell let's hold a huge referendum in every commonwealth country and trim the fat.

Beckham waited 12 hours in the queue it was reported.
Must still have hopes for a knighthood.

Everyone I know, every customer in my coffee shop are either interested in following whats happening and being involved or not that bothered about it. I haven’t met anyone that’s against what we are seeing or complaining about it. Certainly not divisive in any way.

I think people are careful about what they say in public
