maybe an idea from William/Kate's children when they are little older again
to enlist them in either royal marine academy, or royal military academy

Most of them do a little stint in the armed forces, to be fair. Harry drove around in tanks etc. and I think William flew helicopters and played soggy biscuit.

i mean she is very much showing to be bit vain, fashion diva-ish with lots of taste for luxurious french brands maybe only one who can see here doing army or navy, Princess Ariane but that is because i find her bit tomboyish, not too obsessed regarding latest fashion trends

However I'd still support the Monarchy. The question on this thread doesn't ask about alternatives to a President however other than a Monarchy. It asks about abolishing the Monarchy. Option 1 abolish the Monarchy and have a President. Option 2 keep only the Queen. Option 3, leave all as it is. Hence my opposition to a President, in answering the question.

I think its very niave to think they sit on their arses and get pampered...they do a lot behind the scenes. The Royal family..its history its pomp and ceremony doesnt get matched by any other country...they are a massive draw for Tourism. As far as covid is concerned...this country or others have never dealt with anything like this before. Whoever was in power and had to make decisions would no doubt have made as many unfavoured decisions as Boris imo. Its very easy to sit there and critisise dealing with a crisis we have never had to deal with before. |
