So I agree with the concept of a republic, but recognize that it is open to abuse.
All you royalists out there might be interested in these articles:
The British Monarchy Has Its Roots in Nazism
Harry says sorry for Nazi costume
Touchy subject of royal links with Nazi Germany
Note the following:
The modern royal family was founded in 1840 when Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe-Coburg, a Germany duchy, creating The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Such was the ill-feeling towards all things German during the First World War that in 1917 Victoria's grandson King George V - an honorary Field Marshal in the German army - thought it prudent to renounce the German name and titles and adopt that of Windsor.
It was a masterful PR exercise, replacing the Teutonic surname with that of a quintessentially home counties town. |
Ahhh interesting that you posted these links which show ever so slightly links between the Royal Family and the Nazi Party.....if I remeber Adolf Hitler was A CHANCELLOR of Germany and then FRUHRER of Germany. Hmmmm and last time I checked Germany under Hitler was a whats that; a REPUBLIC. Better to live in a country with Monarchs slightly involved with Nazis rather than live in a country ran by Nazis.
(and for crying out loud who hasn't wored a Swastika at a fancy dress party)
