So potentially we can have:
Charles III
William V
George VII

I wonder if the monarchy will still be around for King George to take the throne. Realistically we're probably looking about 50 years away.Comment

They are mainly for show, good will and the bump to the economy that they bring, which at an estimated £1bn a year is much more than they get from the Tresury, which in fact since the Civil List was scrapped is actually money given BACK to the Royal Family from profits of the Crown EstatesOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI certainly hope it is, I think the switch is still 83%/17% between Royalists and Republicans, and as there is no single factor that could cause a dramatic change in opinion (due to the fact the royals have very limited actual powers).

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostI like the royal family too, but I think you only need one of them to start behaving like a dickhead and their popularity will plummet. The queen has always behaved impeccably and that's why she's so well respected. Charles lost a lot of respect with the whole Diana/Camilla thing although he does seem to have recovered. Wills hasn't really made any sort of mark yet.Comment

I suppose it depends exactly what you mean by "monarchy". I object to them having any part in the operation of the state, and certainly object to them being given a whole load of tax payers money when they're already stinking rich. So remove the monarch as head of state, stop giving them cash (unless they do work for the state which is different), but The Queen can still be The Queen.
