The poll in question is a few days old but it makes for interesting reading - support for the royal family seems to be declining. I’m not expecting the country to become a republic within the next ten years (actually can’t see it happening within the next fifty years) but once the older generation dies out support for that particular institution might well fall sharply.

The fact it's been done just before Trump comes for the state visit has probably skewed it by quite a bit.
I've gone the other way. From staunch republican to reasonably supportive. |  |

They’re an appalling stain on our country. Wealth hoarding, paedo protecting, anachronistic affront to any modern country. |  |

I’m in the ‘republic’ camp but realise that at the moment, I’m in the minority.
I would limit the royal family and tax all of their assets like a non-royal. I would also like to see their finances being accountable to the last penny. But for privacy I would allow a personal allowance of £150k which is theirs. | | | |

Charles and William get one castle each and enough land to keep the public out.
Everything else goes back to state control and the profits ploughed back into public service. No need to kill them. Or if they refuse, they can be repatriated to Germany or wherever.
All assets and wealth to be returned to the British people. If they want to sell the castles or make money from their name so be it, as long as it’s taxed and not hidden offshore. | |

Just make them pay inheritance tax like everyone else. And back date it. |  |

Fotheringhay castle would do for at least one of them. |  |

Even us Republicans had some respect for the Queen as a person. But Charles is not particularly likeable, and giving speeches about tackling climate change whilst turning up to food banks in a helicopter, and having the carbon footprint of 40 British citizens is the stuff of satire. |  | | |

It did for Mary, Queen of Scots.
In both senses of the phrase. | | | |

Should privatise them seeing as they're apparently so profitable for the country | | | |
