That caused so much distress to Diana who had the right to expect the exclusive love of her husband .
That is not ever going to be erased .
He will make her Queen so what we don't have to like her .
It's an archaic system anyway .
I agree. I am sure that Charlie and the Dog will never have the public support that the Queen and Phil the Greek have.
It is undoubtedly an archaic system, as is the House of Lards. However, whereas I strongly feel that the latter should be abolished and replaced by a much smaller elected body, the former has, I feel, been very beneficial to this country.
I'm not talking about all the hangers-on; they should get a job pay their way. But the monarch and the next in line to the throne and their
immediate family should be retained. They act as ambassadors to the world, which all countries have, though for some reason the Queen is far more highly regarded than all the common or garden ambassadors.
Then, of course, there is the tourism that the Queen attracts here. I wouldn't be surprised if the money made from that should exceed what she costs us.
