To be sick of the royal propaganda the UK is fed?

If you are basing your comments on the book that came out on 14th, there is at least one very glaring inaccuracy in it, which could easily have been checked. Most of it consists of regurgitation and virtually all sums of money mentioned are in $, so my assumption is that it is aimed at the US market.
It is not even very well written.
I would believe more of the twaddle if the so-called facts could be verified, rather than statements making allegations and then saying that the means of verification had been "destroyed".

Actually sorry I just realised you meant line of succession, and he has obviously not Been cut
Becsuse if you beleive in the present system than you get whst your given anyway this thread isn't about Garry aka as Harry and it's tedious when posters keep trying to make it about him.

What a load of made up nonsense you have been reading @Ukisgaslit . You can't seriously believe all this?

As for your claim that most people don't care about The Windsors anymore. Speak for yourself. Many people are Royalists, and the Royal Family is here to stay. No matter how much it may irk you.

Yes the only possible alternative to a hereditary royal family that costs billions is Donald Trump. And British people are stupid anyway and would vote for a pig in a wig if it got enough likes on TikTok to be a head of state. Ffs.

My personal distaste for royalty is because it provides the window dressing for the rest of the aristocracy in this country bleeding us dry. Inheritance tax is for working class people who managed to buy a house, not for Lord Snootyfuck who inherits billions from the family estate. And the worst of it is we’re expected to show these people respect and deference if we have the misfortune to come into contact with them.

They have HTH.

They won’t ever step in. They just won’t

William didn’t give easy time growing up? He supported Diana emotionally, which is a big ask from a child. I don’t know how you know his work ethics.

What gets me is that when Parliament was illegally prorogued by Johnson, the Royal family, which is SUPPOSED to act as one of the last ditch checks and balances on Government, was either unable or unwilling to do anything. It showed just how bloody useless and redundant it was.

All that land that could help the declared land shortages in so many ways.

Get the fuck rid. Tax the bastards out of existence.

On a week where learn about Philip affair? Which Philip? Where are you getting information? Instagram?

Most royal families, all over the world, became royal through land ownership through power. And in current times, they have negotiated a kind of deal with governments to continue to enjoy their lifestyle. It’s not fair but this is the way it is and not worth wasting energy.

they (or the gvt I think) need to cut Garry from the los..

A president would get some kind of salary or stipend, a residence and expenses. I highly doubt that his or her children, grandchildren or siblings would receive any kind of state support....
And speaking of possible presidents, why are so many people convinced the post would be a sinecure just for retired politicians ?
If we get to vote for one why could we not choose from threatrical dame or knight, for example Dame Judi or Sir Ian, or a Nobel laureate from literature or the sciences, or a great charitable campaigner?
Old hat politicians would struggle to compete against national treasures like that.

I am not British but I defo do not get the appeal of this RF, particularly W&K.

The Queen was understandably a figure of esteem and affection. Charles and - say what you like about her - Diana - were absolute workhorses. Whatever their personal failings, both did a lot of good for the UK, It is sad that they couldn’t form a unit.

William did not seem to get the work ethic gene. TBF he did not gave an easy time growing up. Obviously one doesn’t wish cancer on anybody but Kate never seemed to do much, really.

So is the governing political party, and look how well that's turned out in recent times!

Exactly this. It’s nauseating, and tone deaf when there is a housing crisis.

Ok then, what about Edward VIII?

Likely to have rolled out the red carpet for Hitler if he’d been able to carry on.

Completely agree lol!!

The lack of political understanding from so many often amazes me, must be because the school curriculum doesn't prioritise a political or social element that might (heaven forbid) shine a light on the way the country is run!

If the RF was replaced by a President, s/he would NOT be an executive leader like Trump or say Macron. S/he would be Head of State with no political power, just a figurehead exactly like King Charles is right now. The main difference is that a president would be voted in and the term would be finite, unless the RF's tenure which is infinite.

Take your pick.

Well yes. Otherwise it would be the unthinkable. All authority and responsibilities going to the Government. And as Starmer is currently in charge, not sure how he’d cope with any extra responsibilities, as he’s barely coping with what he’s got to do now.

Of course he would. He would not have had so much freedom for a start. He would have been "trained" from a young age as all heirs to the throne are. Look at the difference between the Queen and Princess Margaret, William and Harry.

I doubt it. We just wouldn’t have heard about it.

There's no actual clear proof though that he had an affair. Maybe he did maybe he didn't, we will never know.
