    There is no way that you could identify a single major deal. However, it is clear to me that the Queen has a very positive image around the world. When we went to USA and spent some time in schools, nearly every question from the children when they knew we were from England was about her.

    I don't think that if Charles takes over there will be the same goodwill although I think there would be more to William & Kate.

    How would any of us know that?
    But your mate EP doesn't doubt for one minute that foreign deals have been pushed through because of royal intervention.

    Prince Charles could find a cure for Covid and those 2 deadbeats would accuse him of using his privileged position to do so.

    There’s no denying everyone knows who the queen is. I want to know how that translates into trade deals from which everyone benefits.

    He believes in homeopathy, Charlie and science based medicine aren’t closely acquainted.

    What more can you tell me about our future King? To be honest, I don't really know a lot about the bloke but it seems you do.

    Wow you are hard work!

    I didn't say that everyone knows who the Queen is. I said she has a very positive image, and there is no doubt to me that it plays a part in people dealing with the UK. It is impossible to quantify of course, I won't deny that, but I still say that it comes down in favour of her. As I also said, I don't think the whole royal family has a positive effect but she does.

    So how and when has that been translated into trade deals which benefit everyone, as has been claimed on this thread.

    ‘I don’t know, it just has’ doesn’t really cut the mustard.

    I’m a bit surprised you don’t know much about the bloke as you appear to be all in favour of handing him millions of pounds worth of taxpayer’s money for very little.

    Has anyone told you what Prince Andrew gets up to in his spare time? He hasn’t got a job either!
