I would like to see limited reform along the lines of Sweden, ending male primogeniture and granting succession by birth order alone. That said, the British monarchy is hugely popular in the UK. There is no need for a referendum when 80% + of the public support the monarchy. You could almost see the BBC groaning when the public showed its outpouring of love at the Golden Jubilee.
The monarch has no true powers and that is well and good. I much prefer an apolitical and traditional head of state.
