Parliament wouldn't want to get involved with this it's too arcane and controversial and would take up valuable goverment time to get through. The King would have to ask for this legislation which would probaly be seen as getting involved in politics, which is not a good look.

The last change was in 2013 to bring it into the modern era generically there would be substantial pushback if attempts were made to change it for specific exceptions.

Much more likely to run with this than a referendum on the abolition.

What are your thoughts on the titles being used by the Sussexes?, @TheFirmBiscuit

And incredibly and utterly dull, can’t see the world being remotely interested in the Republic of Britain, what a snooze fest the proposals on here sound. The Royals are worth my £1.50 or whatever for all the heritage, pomp and circumstance alone it’s so utterly unique and such a shame some people want to throw over a thousand years of history and our culture away and for what? A random dullard with their own personal agenda with some billionaire pulling their strings, no thanks, our system may not be perfect and needs some changes but will take it any day over the proposals here.

I'm really not bothered either way. I'm not SS as I've made clear but I nether love them or loathe them.

Back to photographers.

Sometimes photographers will do anything to get the perfect shot.

Some stand above the subject and have their acquaintance lie on the ground with the object they desperately need to be photographed.

Some lie on their back to snap the object they want to photograph.

Sometimes someone will come along to add in an irrelevant tuppence because they love to stick their beak in.

As I say if the heir is popular then you are home and dry and have nothing to fear. The UK is far more than it's monarchy and always has been .Executing one only added to it's strength on the Restoration. If you are not prepared to contemplate a gradualist potential democratic change what does that say about trusting the people ?

The ‘stalwart republicans’ always do.

I don’t tend to believe those asserting they don’t care either way and yet have so very much to say in a subject.

More so when they clearly seem to be less than objective and appear to be coming down heavily on one side of the argument.

It honks of stalwart.

Sometimes MN makes you a little crazy - I had no idea I felt so strongly about the sale of Halal meat in the UK until today when faced with some blatant Islamophobia on another thread.

And I am neither Muslim or even in the UK at the moment!

All eternity? Best post I've read today. It's making me giggle.

It can absolutely happen, I know you are a huge Meghan and Harry fan but the clock is ticking very loudly for them, I really expect the Prince and Princess titles will be removed and all you so called republicans should be very happy about this, it’s the way forward and I expect King William and the government of the day will see it through.

So, after the death of a monarch you're suggesting spending £160m (was £130m for Brexit, so have increased costs) on an vote to decide whether the heir is ok to assume the role. If the vote is no, what is the next plan and how much does that cost?

But I really am not you must have imagined that. She's a grifter and he's a damaged but nice bloke IMHO but neither are the devil incarnate.

Reeks of it.

How much did the universal vote cost way back when ? Either way like Trump's wall and the Mexicans I would make the monarchy pay for it, they win if they win. So nothing for the British taxpayer.

I am contrite as I made clear and it is only this new poster that has encouraged me. If you can see her off I will give up as well and leave you to it.

How would the government 'make' the monarchy pay for it? Your plan in a governmental plan so would have to be funded from govt resources

Oh I don’t trust the people, at all. You only have to look at this forum to see that one cannot trust the people.

I don't know anybody else who posts on forums in real life. I post on 3 and when I tell family and friends they think it very odd and a waste of my time and they are probably right.

Going back to your previous post, you think my proposal of removing Prince and Princess titles from a children resident in America with no connections to the UK would be too controversial, yet you think the complete dismantling of our constitutional monarchy won’t take up ‘valuable time’? Let alone anything else. I really don’t see how removing pointless titles from a couple of American kids is in anyway getting involved with politics.

Don’t worry we see them, you probably haven’t picked up on it.
