Over the years to come, one thing is for certain: if the monarchy wishes to stay relevant and in power, it will have to change more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I embody the renewed monarchy for a new time.
I am a vigilant monarchist. I want to see things evolve. The direction the monarchy seems to be moving in - towards a more mainland-European model - is one I would feel sympathetic about.
I'd like to see a much more open Monarchy, myself. I used to think they were completely useless and we should get rid of them. I don't necessarily feel that way anymore. I'm still ambivalent, I still loathe the British class system, and the Royal family are the apex of the British class system.
We could have a political movement going if it had been properly organized but the Monarchy's done itself enormous damage possibly beyond the point of long-term recovery.
Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.
Well, when did this become a monarchy? You know, we are the people. The president works for us and, you know, we need to remember that.
What royal families are very good at doing is surviving and reinventing themselves. That's true whether it's a constitutional monarchy in Britain or an authoritarian monarchy.
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
It's vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It's what I try and do.
If monarchy is corrupting - and it is - wait till you see what overt empire does to us.
