Are we living in the 13th Century?

What do you need 'em for???? Get rid !!!

Tourism, worth their weight in gold, Lefties won't get rid of them either, the tax revenue they generate is awesome, government finances would collapse without them. Besides who's going to plant all that shrubbery and cut those ribbons if the Royals don't do it ? Public service exemplified, ask Alfie. God Save the King.

I have no problems with their titles. They can call themselves what they like. It is the bowing and scraping that gets me.

They deserve respect like everyone else. Constitutionally, the monarchy is important. As sinkov has commented, they are a major tourist attraction, but so is Mickey Mouse and we don’t all bow and scrape to him.

In half a paragraph S_c please explain how the monarchy is important "Constitutionally" wise?

Boris soon blew a hole in that argument.

Can’t make your mind up Bt , Meghan persecuted and ill and we should all get behind her , but now you hate the royals again.

We’re brilliant in this country , all you want to do is get rid of what is unique and generates as much if not more revenue for them and business than anything else I can think of , this is one you won’t be winning anyway as there are many behind the royal family- long live the king.

There's a new generation on the horizon army88 and they will not tolerate these adulterous criminal reprobates.

Now the Queen is out of the equation there doesn't seem much to commend the rest, they are a really dysfunctional family (or should that be royally dysfunctional?).

Now that Charlie Boy has decided to replace his rightly venerated mother with a gin quaffing, fag puffing adulterous old hag the writing is on the wall k_c.

In the words of Roy Orbison, "It's Over!"

Constitutionally, the Government is his majesty’s Government. Hence the King’s Speech on the opening of Parliament. The King invites the leader to form a Government.

The monarchy retains close links with the armed forces who, effectively, support the monarchy and could be called on if necessary.

This helps prevent the installation of a republic by non - democratic means. Any Government that refused to leave against the wishes of the people could be removed by the King through the armed forces.

The King does also retain the Royal Prerogative with which he can veto any legislation - legislation still has to be signed by the King to come into force. Although not used since Queen Victoria, it provides a check against power grabs. Parliament can pass a Bill. It does not become an Act until signed.
