Forget Republicans. That’s The Northern Irish you’re referring to, I would guess. Catholic Nationalists presumably.It's mainly ceremonial the monarch isn't kicking any doors down demanding laws be changed. The reality is that the Pope is head of the Catholics and the Monarch is the head of the Church Of England.
I'd go full ceremonial but that wouldn't be enough for republicans who are very much in a minority, so you'll forgive me if I say fuck 'em :)
To which, you’d find no protest from me.That'd be a bit like a Protestant Pope :)

What about your Jewish/Muslim/Hindu/Scots (sic) communities etc., etc.
Would the same restrictions apply?
Just asking for a Scottish friend.

I'd get rid of all royalty and titles. It's a load of outdated bollocks. And it upholds the aristocracy and class system.
I don’t hate them mate. They’re yours and you’re welcome to them.Mate I mean republicans who are anti-monarchy not Catholic nationalists. Monarchies aren't voted in they just are what they are.
I love the pomp and ceremony and want to keep that part, it's a tradition it may be anachronistic but there again all traditions are aren't they? I'd also remove the religious barriers allowing anyone who marries into the firm to be head honcho.
Some people just hate them, and it makes me want to keep them even more.
Depends upon whether the government wants him to say something or not, as others have outlined above.Well done to Charles speaking up today. So much for the monarch not being able to speak on political matters.
