I’m not a big fan of the royals.
But I understood their role a bit better after visiting parliament.

When the central lobby doors open - the head of state (now Charles) sat in the Lords - looks through the lobby directly at the speaker sat in the House of Commons.
And there lies the balance of power.
So in theory the UK could never be ruled by someone like Adolf Hitler.

BTW - anyone else seen on Twitter the New York Times attacking our royalty and Britain - and response to that from people like Andrew Neil ???
Americans showing their green eyed monster.
