An unelected billionaire being the leader of England sends a very dangerous message to dictators and despots around the world Why should they be democratic when England isn't?
It's pretty is actually pretty close to what Egyptian pharaohs had to do every year to prove that they are still fit and worthy to rule Egypt. Except they had to kill the leader of a rival nation. My running other things that I seriously doubt Charles would be able to do.
Elections are held just to fool the poor into working more. Noone elected keeps the promises he was voted for. As soon as he gets into office, he takes orders from the billionaires, as they have corruption or pedophilia evidence against him, the poor have nothing.
Here in Brazil, the monarchy was overthrown more than 130 years ago. Last King Dom Pedro II was an intelligent, cultured man who, during his 58 years of reign, represented the country's moral values and the best Portuguese heritage. Since then we've had a succession of corrupt, immoral presidents, with rare exceptions. Today I feel that it would be better to have a head of state with ceremonial functions that represent the permanent values of the country, far removed from the meanness that involves the daily political struggle.
👌 Excellent point you make here, especially where permanent values is concerned. That's what a Monarchy is duty and honour bound to protect over any number of leaders a country may have during the Monarch's reign. Politicians don't make a spiritual oath to God when sworn in to power and position. In the UK the Monarchs do!
@@mikeyacson9542 But there has to be some form of head of state. Either what we have now or another elected politician, and I can't think of one who has acted to serve the country and not themselves. I do think that Charles cares about the country, and acts to represent in its best interest. Regarding the Crown Estate, the value of that exceeds the Civil List payments and the income they generate through tourism and trade. On balance, I believe they are a positive influence and benefit to the UK. But I respect those who disagree of course.
If the English are asking this question then how do you think us Australians feel having a foreigner as head of state ?! The sooner Australia becomes a republic the better !
@@LawrenceReitan it does effect australia mate.

We want independence from you English. It would be more beneficial and ethical as we recieve nothing from England except to be dragged into wars and conflicts of englands choice. We gain nothing from having your monarchy control our country. It’s that simple. Dismantling your monarchy would only positively affect australia as we don’t need you. We have allies like the US which is the dominant power of the world. England is no longer one of the superpowers so how would paying taxes to your monarchy benefit us?

@Lilian No, the link with an empire is completely in your own mind. The point of a constitutional monarchy is to provide non party political national leadership and public service, and a soft diplomatic role on behalf of the people and their elected government. It is useful to have non political leaders with long term experience of soft diplomacy. The monarchy also represents 1000 years of history with empire being a part of that story and the lessons learned from that experience...and you should note, that the UK has opted out of the EU, which is an empire, forged through trade, economic and political influence as a merged entity of many countries, ever expanding, and using its collective might against smaller and weaker economies to it's own benefit. The EUs expansion, centralisation, ever growing list of competences based on QMV and not veto, and aspiration to create a collective military to act on the world stage should really give you a clue that it is the entity hung up on recreating empires previously held by other european nations.

@MT MF, yes, is the answer. It would first have to cease to be the UK and then justify to its constituent nations why its national republican government has any legitimacy to rule over them in a unitary state whose very union is underpinned and to some degree enhanced by the union of crowns that preceeded it. If you think Brexit was difficult it would be a walk in the park compared to aabolishing the monarchy. Britain was a republic under Cromwell, not I might say a successful one, especially in Ireland where he wasva genocidal ethnic cleanser.
To me the royal family is an expensive and tedious soap opera. I won't predict an imminent end to the monarchy but they're seen as less relevant all the time.
Urgent need to free up money from UK government to fund national, food, water, energy security projects that support taxpayers daily needs ! High time for British monarchy to fund $108m annual expenditure with it's own resources, festivity, tourism events, programs & sale of estate lands, property, memorabilia. Monarchy should not be using taxpayers monies to fund their lavish lifestyles & scandals. This is more in line with modern societal norms !
Your taxes don't support Prince Harry or his family. Prince Harry supports himself and his family. Your taxes and my taxes support the King and Queen and Prince Andrew and his family members and Prince Edward the new New Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and his family and Princess Anne and her family
@@lenawagenfuehr53 just like your opinion 😂 I'm saying from real experiences. Some of the most democratic nations are actually monarchies. Monarchy provides stability and preserves the culture.

Remember when the Queen died. The Uk looked like something out of North Korea. People were arrested for "being disrespectful". The whole country had to shut down. Hospitals closed and people died, ambulances not able to get to where they were needed. It was terrible.
I do, it did not resemble anything close to North Korea. An ounce of looking into the eternal struggle of North Koreans would make that clear. I don’t agree with a monarchy in the current day either, but saying it resembled North Korea 😂

In my opinion, under the world heritage committee, we maintain and cherish the monuments, buildings, 7 wonders of the world etc across all countries. Because these are the part of the history, the heritage of humanity. Look what happened to Pyramids - humanity forgot who made them and for what purpose? Are we not giving funds to researchers to find that. And British Monarchy is a living heritage of this country. In Coronation, we saw thousands of years of old things and processes. It was spectacular. Brit people should celebrate that their community is inclusive even under the monarchy not like many other communist countries. Brits should be proud of their monarchy.
If there is no monarchy what will happen to the aristocracy? If all the lorddom, and earldom become ordinary folks, with maybe ceremonial titles, then the 2 billion cost saving is a very low estimate.
everyone who is alive today dates back 1000 years or even 100,000 years. saying someone linage dates back 1000s years mean absolutely nothing. Just meaningless empty word much like many aspect of the monarchy.
So you would like another politician to be your head of state….someone who tells porkies and bribes people to get to the top??? How well has that worked in America? Russia etc etc?
Why not the Britain copy the German constitution. A democratic country with many royals, prince, and noble family, dynasties in Deutschland. Keep their title, nobility family, but their living like the normal citizens. But with no special powers or "birthright" thing. Dynastic family has to pay taxes too. Keeping their inherited lands and castle.
Couldn't care less about the monarchy. Noone I know supports it, nor are they happy about having to pay for it. Its a sad little show of what has become a sad little state. Hey ho.
2billion pounds? There’s plenty of families worth way more than that, having way more unelected influence on people’s lives. Don’t just pick on the Royals when it comes to inequality. At least they draw in tourists.
Imagine all the money you can put in the NHS if you abolish the Parliament, party politics, town councils and other elected bodies and substitute them with the king's commissioners and the absolute monarchy.
You could pump billions into the NHS and it still wouldn't work properly, it's always in permanent crisis irrespective of who is in government or how much money is pumped into it.
@@Wraith-Knight no they bring opposite points of view and that is good but due to that they also bring conflict and i do not want that for a head of state a non political one if fine by me
He has far more power than he should and all of it unearned. His wealth and position give him power and privileges most people will never come anywhere close to attaining.
the king has to train in all the military's he a jet fighter pilot can fly naval helicopters and as head of the military he had no choice to not train with all the armed services and is expected to be top class by definition of his status and role or at least back when he was younger all his sons have had to do this prices are military and have to defend the country by definition of birth its similar to being a Russian really your going to join the military want to or not .the QUEEN also served in the second world war
Just want to remind Britons that removing the royal family would result in a large tax increase as the royal familys salary is much smaller than the land revenue they give to the state. If the salary is removed and the royal family made to step down, then it would get back that revenue and taxes go way up. So what you are really chanting is " higher taxes with nothing in return! Higher taxes with nothing in return!" that's before considering the impact on tourism. It is precisely what you want now after brexit. More financial turmoil and less money in your pocket. Is it?
Why don’t you consider that someone could be dyslexic, or might not have had much education? It would surprise you how many people have been completely let down by the education system: i volunteered for years with adult literacy, and I also did a couple of postgrad years tutoring English lit at university. I did not notice any great difference in the average intelligence level. What I did notice was the difference between people who’d had safe, stable homes, good health and active advocates as children. And those who didn’t.
Do you know what the most major difference is between people who can spell well and those who can’t? Self confidence or the lack if it. A lifetime being sneered at by people like you has its effects by the time a child is just seven or eight hears old.

@SUPE SUPE ‘the best country’ is a bit of a stretch though, but hey, to each their own.

Personally I’d rather live in a peaceful, even boring, country where I and everyone else can afford healthcare and don’t worry too much about dying in a random shooting.
Because we all know that royalty is the most democratic institution that has ever existed. King Ferdinant would not have been the king I would have seen on the throne in Austria, but at the time my opinion would not have mattered. And the opinion of the British people still doesn't count.
Yeah, why wouldn't you have an adulterer, liar and a useless ribbon cutter as your head of state and church just because he came out a very special vagina?
The people of the UK cando anything they want, they can enthrone the King and take away his crown, but I don't think it would be easy to abolish this old Institution which is part of the British Society and has also granted the British Democracy. all people has the right to decide of their own future, but it won't be easy without the Monarchy... They say, that somekind of dictatorship could occur without it... P.s. In italy, our Head of State is chisen and elected by the Parliament since 1948.
I"m an American.....but i admire the British monarchy. It has evolved into a very useful supra-partisan institution that provides stability in the fractious partisan politics. that the "head of state" be above politics seems wise.
Aristocracy/Monarchy costs us way too much, but the problem is the elites refuse the people a vote on whether we want a monarch/king or not. The English people need liberating.
Their family/ ancestors have been doing this for over 1000 years, its time they just chill out like the rest of us and let the monarchy die out. Its not working with the new generations and this new world we have stepped into, cant wait for Australia to break the ties once and for all.

@@tomlxyz You also have to look at its relevance in the 21st Century. What are they for and what good do they do? Would the UK become ungovernable or change irrevocably if suddenly the monarchy/royalty no longer existed? No to all the above, therefore they are irrelevant.
@MT MF, yes, is the answer. It would first have to cease to be the UK and then justify to its constituent nations why its national republican government has any legitimacy to rule over them in a unitary state whose very union is underpinned and to some degree enhanced by the union of crowns that preceeded it. If you think Brexit was difficult it would be a walk in the park compared to aabolishing the monarchy. Britain was a republic under Cromwell, not I might say a successful one, especially in Ireland where he wasva genocidal ethnic cleanser.

To me the royal family is an expensive and tedious soap opera. I won't predict an imminent end to the monarchy but they're seen as less relevant all the time.
Urgent need to free up money from UK government to fund national, food, water, energy security projects that support taxpayers daily needs !
High time for British monarchy to fund $108m annual expenditure with it's own resources, festivity, tourism events, programs & sale of estate lands, property, memorabilia.
Monarchy should not be using taxpayers monies to fund their lavish lifestyles & scandals. This is more in line with modern societal norms !
If my hard-earned taxes would go to maintain a child-man like Harry, of course I would be pissed and I would be protesting to abolish that circus.
Your taxes don't support Prince Harry or his family. Prince Harry supports himself and his family. Your taxes and my taxes support the King and Queen and Prince Andrew and his family members and Prince Edward the new New Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and his family and Princess Anne and her family
I had a lot of respect for the Queen, but the monarchy is over now.

Trust me Brits Constitutional monarchy is better than a republic. Republics are more prone to becoming dictatorships.
How. Just take a second to realise how ludicrous your comment is.
@@lenawagenfuehr53 just like your opinion 😂 I'm saying from real experiences. Some of the most democratic nations are actually monarchies. Monarchy provides stability and preserves the culture. Of course it needs reforms but construction monarchies with parliamentary democracy is the best form of government.

The time is over. The time to put everything in a museum. Give the two billion dollars back to the British people. Sell everything off.
Land, castles. Jewelry. One big yard sale.
There are always dissatisfied complaining people in every country.
2 billion pounds of mostly property that would only be bought by Russians or the Chinese. Museums are expensive too.
In this day and age the monarchy would do better to make Reparations instead of wasting money on medieval carnival💩🇬🇧
People are struggling to live on a daily basis while they take our hard earned money. Undemocratic
And a President would do what? Certainly no tourists will come to London to see President Blair or Corbyn
@JeffHall-dd3cl nonsense tourist will still come, excuses. Countries with no royals still get tourist.
see boris johnson and parliament for for a educated counter argument only difference is royalty bring in money to country
@Wraith-Knight Boris Johnson and the criminals in Parliament who gives themselves big bonuses and pay rises and claim for expenses for their family through the government. You must be delusional, misleading mp's. Goodluck
Remember when the Queen died. The Uk looked like something out of North Korea. People were arrested for "being disrespectful". The whole country had to shut down. Hospitals closed and people died, ambulances not able to get to where they were needed. It was terrible.
I do, it did not resemble anything close to North Korea. An ounce of looking into the eternal struggle of North Koreans would make that clear. I don’t agree with a monarchy in the current day either, but saying it resembled North Korea 😂
In NK a man can be arrested and his family punished if his hair pushes beyond his ear.
The comparison is extremely offensive to the survivors of that regime.
@@owlman_ The UK conquered half the planet and murdered hundreds of millions. Sorry if I find the fact that we still glorify these monsters a tiny bit more offensive.
@@ZoeySaysTransRights that's like every European power dude, plus America has its fair share of atrocities

The royal family owes an apology to India and all the other colonies that they exploited that eventually resulted in human sufferings.
I love how it starts "marching into a new era" and shows antiquated old ceremonies dating back centuries 😂. All whilst living standards and life expectancy are dropping to below victorian levels. Britain is more akin to tailban run Afghanistan than it is the rest of Europe
what did you smoke?
By Brits DW really just means English. Scots generally don't see they even have a monarchy. For them it's an English thing and an irritating irrelevance.
Briton's dont throw away your traditions and unique system of government just to appease the idea of democracy, i lived in a presidential republic all my life and the lack of planning and accountability is not worth the trouble, stay with the King
It's a class system that is outdated
I wish American govt. cared about what the younger generation want hahah. I think we would get rid of electoral college and senate term lengths
In my opinion, under the world heritage committee, we maintain and cherish the monuments, buildings, 7 wonders of the world etc across all countries. Because these are the part of the history, the heritage of humanity. Look what happened to Pyramids - humanity forgot who made them and for what purpose? Are we not giving funds to researchers to find that.
And British Monarchy is a living heritage of this country. In Coronation, we saw thousands of years of old things and processes. It was spectacular.
Brit people should celebrate that their community is inclusive even under the monarchy not like many other communist countries. Brits should be proud of their monarchy.

If there is no monarchy what will happen to the aristocracy? If all the lorddom, and earldom become ordinary folks, with maybe ceremonial titles, then the 2 billion cost saving is a very low estimate.

I’d rather have a hereditary monarch that dates back 1000 years than an elected head of state. The uk is doing fine we don’t need to change.
everyone who is alive today dates back 1000 years or even 100,000 years. saying someone linage dates back 1000s years mean absolutely nothing. Just meaningless empty word much like many aspect of the monarchy.
That's your problem, tradition holds you back.
THE UK IS FACING VERY SERIOUS ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND THE MONARCHY IS ALMOST POWERLESS IN RESOLVING THIS.

@@yesterday1396 So what’s the problem. You just want a symbolic President instead ? Do it , Nobody in the UK gives a toss
So you would like another politician to be your head of state….someone who tells porkies and bribes people to get to the top??? How well has that worked in America? Russia etc etc?
Why not the Britain copy the German constitution. A democratic country with many royals, prince, and noble family, dynasties in Deutschland. Keep their title, nobility family, but their living like the normal citizens. But with no special powers or "birthright" thing. Dynastic family has to pay taxes too. Keeping their inherited lands and castle.
@Paolo A. Why would the UK want to emulate the system in Germany? No, thank you.

At least UK doesnt have a specific law to limit the populations’ criticism on the monarchy.
They literally do.
Couldn't care less about the monarchy. Noone I know supports it, nor are they happy about having to pay for it. Its a sad little show of what has become a sad little state. Hey ho.
Is there a less charismatic couple alive than Charles and Camilla?
He’d work at Walmart in America
He’s extremely genteel and highly educated. I’m looking forward to shopping at Walmart in US!
2billion pounds? There’s plenty of families worth way more than that, having way more unelected influence on people’s lives. Don’t just pick on the Royals when it comes to inequality. At least they draw in tourists.
Personally I just don't think Prince Charles has the aura of a king!

Charles May be your king for a little while, but Camilla will be your queen until the day she dies.

Camilla is not, nor will she ever be queen; she is the queen consort. Huge difference.
yes please learn before you comment did we have a king Philip?????????? he was married to the queen in case your uneducated
Well thank you for telling me the bad news.
support is dying out and charles will degrade the monarchy further

Imagine all the money you can put in the NHS if you abolish the monarchy
Total drop in the ocean for the inefficient NHS.
Imagine all the money you can put in the NHS if you abolish the Parliament, party politics, town councils and other elected bodies and substitute them with the king's commissioners and the absolute monarchy.
What is spent on the monarchy is returned by tourist dollars.
You could pump billions into the NHS and it still wouldn't work properly, it's always in permanent crisis irrespective of who is in government or how much money is pumped into it.

You are so barbaric and savage. It seems your country forever stuck in the 19th century. No wonder 20% of britains are not able to do basic math.
Head of State posseses very little power aside of ceremonial things. Blame UK parliamenter system instead.
He has far more power than he should and all of it unearned. His wealth and position give him power and privileges most people will never come anywhere close to attaining.
He's definitely Camila's King .
How sad is to millions uk ppl see themselves as a a Queen slavery
the king has to train in all the military's he a jet fighter pilot can fly naval helicopters and as head of the military he had no choice to not train with all the armed services and is expected to be top class by definition of his status and role or at least back when he was younger all his sons have had to do this prices are military and have to defend the country by definition of birth its similar to being a Russian really your going to join the military want to or not .the QUEEN also served in the second world war
Chad Truss should be the new queen of the UK. 🗿
I'd rather have the lettuce tbh.
Just want to remind Britons that removing the royal family would result in a large tax increase as the royal familys salary is much smaller than the land revenue they give to the state. If the salary is removed and the royal family made to step down, then it would get back that revenue and taxes go way up. So what you are really chanting is " higher taxes with nothing in return! Higher taxes with nothing in return!" that's before considering the impact on tourism. It is precisely what you want now after brexit. More financial turmoil and less money in your pocket. Is it?
we dont as far as i know teach kids what the monarchy dose
Why didn't you finish school and let someone teach you how to spell? Why does education frighten you?
Why don’t you consider that someone could be dyslexic, or might not have had much education? It would surprise you how many people have been completely let down by the education system: i volunteered for years with adult literacy, and I also did a couple of postgrad years tutoring English lit at university. I did not notice any great difference in the average intelligence level.
What I did notice was the difference between people who’d had safe, stable homes, good health and active advocates as children. And those who didn’t.
Do you know what the most major difference is between people who can spell well and those who can’t?
Self confidence or the lack if it.
A lifetime being sneered at by people like you has its effects by the time a child is just seven or eight hears old.

@SUPE SUPE ‘the best country’ is a bit of a stretch though, but hey, to each their own.

Still wasting so much of money and time in something which is useless ,still living in 14th century monarch.....funny
Many monarchies in Europe, and I wonder what people in other monarchies such as Netherlands Belgium, Sweden, etc think about it.
we don't want a monarchy in the Netherlands
Because we all know that royalty is the most democratic institution that has ever existed. King Ferdinant would not have been the king I would have seen on the throne in Austria, but at the time my opinion would not have mattered. And the opinion of the British people still doesn't count.

The people of the UK cando anything they want, they can enthrone the King and take away his crown, but I don't think it would be easy to abolish this old Institution which is part of the British Society and has also granted the British Democracy.
all people has the right to decide of their own future, but it won't be easy without the Monarchy... They say, that somekind of dictatorship could occur without it...
P.s. In italy, our Head of State is chisen and elected by the Parliament since 1948.
Down with the crown!
NmA lotvof people are not celebrating this. It is a complete waste of money
I"m an American.....but i admire the British monarchy. It has evolved into a very useful supra-partisan institution that provides stability in the fractious partisan politics. that the "head of state" be above politics seems wise.
Charles is not above politics he has chosen and participates in the WEF crazy lala agenda.
Aristocracy/Monarchy costs us way too much, but the problem is the elites refuse the people a vote on whether we want a monarch/king or not. The English people need liberating.
King Charles III is my King, our King for whole family and Royal Family will see another King Charles in the future or King William in few years time.
totally get why my family took that 3 month boat ride 😂

Their family/ ancestors have been doing this for over 1000 years, its time they just chill out like the rest of us and let the monarchy die out. Its not working with the new generations and this new world we have stepped into, cant wait for Australia to break the ties once and for all.
