You are quite correct, we are a country of equals and I assure you no one is more conscious of that than our king. He has championed the interests of the poor and needy, the young, ethnic minorities and from my own experience expressed concern about those being made unemployed by big business and government decisions. This is apart from his concern for the future of the planet which he once pressed hard on myself to ensure I did all that I could. It is wrong to say we are saddled with the monarch on the basis of birth. Parliament is sovereign and can pass any law it wishes including changing the monarch. Charles expressed his views when a Prince, now he is king, he is well aware he has to control his mouth more and only read out what the government have told him to say. If we were a country of equals we wouldn't have hereditary peers in the House of Lords. If we were a country of equals Charlie would pay Inheritance Tax.

I'm sure he's a very nice man and I don't feel inclined to throw eggs or insults at him. However I have no intention of bowing in his presence either. Thing is I didn't vote for him so as far as I'm concerned he's your king, not mine. I consider myself a citizen of a country of equals - I'm not anyone's subject.

Why the hell should he have to control his mouth? He's a fellow citizen in a free country and has as much right to express an opinion as anyone. The whole system is ridiculous and repressive. Dressing people up in ridiculous costumes and having them perform farcical ceremonies is as demeaning as having to bow in the presence of someone who's only claim to fame is an accident of birth. It's a joke - we really need to grow up as a country and get a political constitution that is fit for purpose and not built around a feudal pecking order.

For me I think the Monarchy will continue to fade in relevance. Royal visits are an embarrassment BUT it would be good bif we could manage the decline to develop a role in which they are ambassadors, representatives of the history and tradition of the UK.....without the direct cost and the implications of subservience.....perhaps an impossible task!.
More clear cut and important for me is the abolition of the House of Lords

Where did I say I hated her? Quote me You didn’t I wasn’t talking about you it was a general comment in life that people can both love and hate people they’ve never met. I find it strange. It can be based on all sorts of things background, footy team, politics etc

Someone who wanted to be surrounded by the media when it suited her then expected to be left alone when it suited her. Didn't get the reaction and over the top for me. People holding each other and wailing Each to their own I guess

Give me a cause or person that I am close to and that’s very different. I don’t feel passionately about the Royals but I really don’t get the hate or bitterness either. There’s too much hate and misery in this world as it is without adding more and getting over excited about things that don’t affect us or we can do zero about other than moan. One things for sure life’s a lot more pleasant if there’s less hate in it.

Deserved for me, whether you agree with the monarchy or not , personally no opinion either way

One things for sure life’s a lot more pleasant if there’s less hate in it. I don't know anyone who is of a republican persuasion (as am I) that 'hates' the Royals. Some of them are probably very nice - others less so. It's about an hereditary institution having no place in a modern society, about swearing an allegiance to someone just because of who they were born to and about it being the absolute opposite of a meritocracy and an anathema in a democracy You can debate all those issues depending on your point of view but for me 'hate' doesn't come into it.

It certainly is odd she’s not been seen for so long.
