[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1034124, member: 70552"] Absolutely, the monarchy gave up any political power to become a ceremonial monarchy to stay relevant. Being part of the “British identity” and how they have embedded the institution is fundamental to their survival. Prince Phillip’s biggest contribution to the monarchy was to “knock up” the Queen so the House of Windsor now has 3 generations to stay relevant within the British psyche. What Britain would replace them with? A Republic similar to ROI with a President who is largely ceremonial but who guards over a written constitution would be something I would personally favour. At least their term would be finite and stop this idea of being born into privilege and service. [/QUOTE]
