I call it the "republican mentality" which is when people live in a monarchy but act and think as though they live in a republic, where the crown is tolerated but not regarded as sacred and inviolable.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-53769196476982418832017-09-15T09:53:35.631-05:002017-09-15T09:53:35.631-05:00The English journalist Peter Hitchens has said tha...The English journalist Peter Hitchens has said that, and I am not quoting him, emotionalism in politics has all but destroyed the British monarchy. Polls, for what they are worth show that many UK citizens as well as citizens of the Commonwealth Realms "feel" that Charles Prince of Wales has behaved badly and therefore is not worthy of the throne. The Duke of Cambridge should therefore succeed Queen Elizabeth II. Hitchens points out that one day Prince William is bound to do something that "the public" don't like and that could very well be the end of the Monarchy. The notion that the Monarch reigns "Dei Gratia" has been undermined and replaced by "the popular will". Stable monarchies cannot exist under such conditions. Does this seem a correct analysis to you?
