Genuine question, when the queen dies whats your national anthem going to be? same one but switch up the lyrics?

God save the King assuming it's Charles. Was originally written for one of the hanoverian Georges. Possibly George III

I can understand why some people don't want a partisan politician to be our country's Head of State, but it works well for the U.S.

Who is the fittest royal? I know everyone raves about the young Duchess Catherine, but I quite fancy Camilla.

Looks alright for 70 and I bet she's a demon in the sack.

If the portrayal in The Crown is anything to go by, Princess Margaret by a country mile.

I'd like to get rid of these social injustices that blight our country, cut off the cash to them and watch their demise. Baffling that that the same people who want to fund these leeches are the same people who are up in arms when monies are given to the poor.

I don't believe systems and traditions should be torn down without good reason or a good replacement.

It doesn't need a replacement, that's the whole point.

I know you believe in small government and low taxes, so I ask you - what makes the monarchy any more worthy of our taxes than the NHS, infrastructure, jobs, benefits, etc?

What you're arguing for is the preservation of elites who are not there through merit and a two fingers up to the idea of social mobility.

Why would that be better?

Because we would have control over who governs us, get rid of all royalty and titles.

If they weren't here, we wouldn't miss them. Part of the antiquated social order perpetuated as a personification of Britishness.

A class yard stick.

A quiz question for all the Monarchists on here. What has this German WW1 bomber have to do with the current House of Windsor?

Did it drop bombs on Dodi & Di?

Probably an unpopular opinion on here, but I like the fact the next/current 4 heads of state of the UK are lined up.

Could do without the media fawning over pictures of a Royal baby, or a Royal wedding mind.

The UK went to war over how we should be governed. Parliament won, but am ok with a pretty irrelevant, in terms of power, Royal family.
