Another Royal Baby on the way

[account_inactive]

Just out of curiosity, what are your opinions on the royal family, Bella?  My mom's English, and her parents are all staunch royalists, while her brothers both really dislike the whole royal institution, so I've heard both sides of the fence.

Sorry, I probably should have put that in the OP.

I would like to see the royal family abolished at some point in my life time. Not violently, but slowly phased out by cutting down their duties and the money they receive from the government.

When the time comes, any castles, palaces and expensive royal jewellery belonging to them should be confiscated so we can still maintain a decent tourist industry without them.

However, it's unlikely to happen for years to come since so many Brits worship the royals at this point. I also think the royals are rich enough to maintain their palaces and armed bodyguards without government assistance.

I would have to take a laxative to give a shit about this.

I don't blame you.

But we're getting bombarded with it on the news and I figured I would post it anyway, maybe it could lead to an interesting discussion on the future of the royals.
