    It is a hard thing to measure. But when I've worked abroad, occasionally in the odd far off place, there is no doubt that the institution is very well regarded overseas.

    That said, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor should count himself extremely fortunate that he has lived his life in this and not another time. The Royals down the centuries have shown little patience with their more pestilent members, often exiling them, imprisoning them, topping them or just denying them their existence.

    He is clearly a t**t, and will live the rest of his life trying to understand why he is so publicly loathed.

    It would be interesting to see which party has the balls to put getting rid of the monarchy in their manifesto.
    Maybe Jezza's new party ...

    They will no doubt have other, politically suicidal policies, so maybe!

    Bad apples in the Royal family has occurred many times over the centuries, doesn’t mean our monarchy is bad,in my opinion

    Their problem is that there are so few good apples.

    Since the death of the late Queen the rest of them look pretty shambolic.

    Can’t believe how thin Kate is though, like a skeleton.

    I’m no fan of Jezza but if he did it would get my vote.

    In 2025 we need to get rid or at the very least have a massively slimed down monarchy.

    Under 18yo but that's not even the point. Young impressionable girls were trafficked to men like Andrew to be used and discarded.

    That's disgusting however young they were.

    That seems to be true.

    If you believe in something, actually believe it, then carrying out your duty is easy. QEII was a devout Christian, so whatever we might think of the institution, she knew what her role was; Defender of The Faith. There are and were other aspects to the role, but belief that was at it's core.

    Her son has said that he wishes to be a defender of "faiths". Frankly that is an absurd and untenable position.

    She was a trafficked minor. He was a married man with children. He had public responsibilities, and received public money to carry them out.

    Missed quite a bit mate.

    I'm staunchly anti-monarchy so I'm delighted there is one less of the bastards.
