Why is anything to do with the royal family even news anymore? the country is an utter shambles caused by government mistakes over and over again. We with the help from the EU are heading towards financial meltdown. Law enforcement is appalling and we have a very serious thug culture which doesn't seem to be showing signs of going away anytime soon. The country is totally being destroyed by the government and there is a massive lack of respect on our streets.

The point of my comment is simple, the monarchy is not even significant anymore. It is meaningless and it has zero effect or influence on providing a positive resolve to the many problems the UK has.

If anything the monarchy is having a negative influence, we have got this far on a pretty old fashioned approach to everything and it isn't working. The whole system needs modernising and bringing in line with other countries. I think we are only one of very few countries where the police are not routinely armed which is scary when you look at the figures for violent crimes the police can't even defend themselves properly.
