A lot was said yesterday as to how the Royals are becoming very popular again. I was listening to 97.3 radio on my way out whilst I was driving around 2 p.m. and the presenter (don't know her name) would have us convinced that the entire country is ecstatic and happy to have the 3,000 royals running around making our lives so much better. She did not of course provide any evidence of this but she did say that people were impressed that the Queens grand daughter who am sure is lovely opens her own car door when she gets out?? How pathetic an argument is that?
Anyway I am not sure as to whether Britain will ever want to replace the monarchy with an elected President but I would hope that if the Royals are kept (to open supermarkets) then at the very least they should follow the tradition of the Queen of Holland and Denmark and be more real and down to earth. They are simply normal people who may (arguable) have a job to do. One of them could do all the supermarket opening and the rest should get normal jobs like every one else. The issue here of course is the media. They on the whole need to have them around to sell newspapers and create tv shows. They are, after all, good value when it comes to gossip.
