I mean the royal family are immensely powerful and certainly have huge political influence and a history of political meddling as proven by recent revelations from letters sent by Prince Charles (and that is only the things we are aware of)
The idea that the queen is some sort of martyr for the benefit of the U.K. is bananas. She’s lived a life wanting nothing.
I don’t particularly mind her to be honest but what would happen if someone was throned who had ideas of self grandeur and chose to get more politically involved?

The Queen is rich anyway, and could have spent her whole life wanting for nothing and not having to do anything anyway, but without the public gaze and having to be nice to some politicians she may loathe....She is not a martyr but it would break most people...she’s 94 and still has to do it.....

TBF this has happened of course, with Edward VIII. He was removed.
 
It will be interesting to see what it's like when Charles is the King. A lot of neutrals or some pro, seem to only be that way because they see the Queen as likeable. Maybe Phillip was likeable to some too

I can't imagine Charles has the same support. With the nonce, the robots with their two brats and the others as the senior royals

Is this the same Charles who had an injunction against a newspaper that had claimed he was...best Google it.

Who will be the likable one?

William and Kate are made of cardboard, their two kids dress like they are constantly at a Victorian day at primary school. Harry (arguably the most relatable to most under 50) has gone.
