I agree with Liat Kirby, and most republics are incompetent, corrupt and often totalitarian as a bonus. Long Live the Constitutional Monarchies of the world and in our case the nation in the Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth 11 is a great unifying symbol not only got the UK but for about 65 nation or 1/3 of humanity.

It has a very different role to play, and within the structure of a democratic Britain can be seen as a moderating or balancing force, rather than anything else.
Also from an economic perspective, it brings in billions – tourists want to see as much as they can of the royals and their domain.

In times of gravity, whether war or pandemic, the Monarchy has been a stalwart and supportive influence psychologically for the British people. It also should be seen as part of English culture, and where it’s not seen as politically correct to criticise or denigrate ‘the other’ and their culture, for whatever reason the British Royal family seems to be fair game.

You are always going to have members of a family who behave badly, even criminally, and their behaviour should not reflect on the whole as being worthless.
