Can anyone please tell me....

What they actually do for us, the British tax payer? If anyone comes along and says they bring in more than they cost, kindly provide a current legitimate source..not a quote from ChatGpt.

Why is that the choice?

Nothing stopping any of the royals from standing and/or winning if they and the country feel they are the best fit for the role.

Based on the You Gov polls, either W or K have a career in politics before them

Based on their work ethic, it's unlikely either could be arsed.

Would K actually have an opinion on anything without checking for royal protocol?

Protocol didn’t stop AMW or SF. Despite his protestations that his daughters are ‘blood princesses’.

AMW and his daughters are ' blood'. Kate is married in. Step out of line and she'll be out on her ear.

Norman Baker’s new book is out tomorrow. It’s available for pre-order now

Thanks bubbles !

Republic are one of the commentators interviewed for the ‘what’s the monarchy for?’ Documentary starting tonight on BBC one

Are Charles and Camilla doing soft diplomacy with a German visitor tomorrow?

The BBC says yes.

Thanks for this.

Looks to be interesting 🙂

All the stuff the Irish president does at a fraction of the cost of the RF, and on top of the ceremonial element the Irish president has a solid role in scrutinising legislation along with the Council of State.

Presumably he also doesn't need to draft his siblings, siblings children, his own children and all their spouses into his job too?

But the monarchy's role is partly to provide unity by being apolitical and providing some sort of consistency/continuity for the nations

Looks like the police are preventing Republic from demonstrating on the direct route of the monarch, just as they did at the coronation (they arrested them then)
