I hope it's above average now. The Royal Family seemed to really settled down every since Kate has married William.
PrincessKaimi said:Victoria, what does "settled" mean in this context? Do you mean "functioning in a predictable manner without scandal?"
Thank you for that interesting link, EIIR. Usually, i would`nt touch the New Statesman with the proverbial barge pole, but this made very interesting reading. I think anyone who recalls the mass hysteria we witnessed, in the aftermath of Princess Diana`s death, will not be too surprised to learn that the Queen`s sensible handling of such a tragic event, was far more in line with the natural instincts of her people, than the manufactured " revolution " that was propogated in much of the media....An interesting figure in the article. The British monarchy was at its strongest just after Diana died and the Queen made her TV address. Support for a republic fell to 9% briefly. I just find it ironic that the episode widely regarded as the most dangerous for the BRF was actually its strongest.
i think it will change when or if Charles becomes king when Elizabeth passes. i know Australia and Canada and a number of Commonwealth countries will eventually become republics. and as the Commonwealth shrinks attitudes may change in the UK "if they get rid of them why do we keep them"

But, when she is gone, things will, probably, change. When Charles, is king, many will defect. Not the same respect.

May I ask - 'defect' from what???
Not according to the vast majority of comments posted by the public (unmoderated) in reponse to pretty much any article about C and C. It's easy to say that, on this moderated forum, people are warming to Camilla. It does not appear to be the case when you read the public reponses to published articles or on Youtube.I think you find people are more comfortable with Charles succeeding than say 6 years ago. Camilla is no longer the "Evil Witch".
