    It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. It's foolish to think tourism would suddenly dip without a current monarchy — history doesn't disappear. Buckingham Palace could print mo

I mean, he’s been arrested for misconduct in office which is probably the least of his alleged offences so we’ll see how far they actually take it.

Ah so he annoyed the other elites by leaking secret info to Epstein. That's why he's been arrested. There won't be a peep about his other crimes!

Surely this all feels a bit off? All seems very Al Capone/OJ Simpson. Seconded to the fact that the Epstein files seems to be taking down Andrew and Mandleson. Whilst both have undoubtebly abused their power, I just cannot believe that these are the only two people who seem to be facing real heat!

Especially wheb you consider Trump in the files!!!

Probably all distraction from something bigger, just seems a bit convenient its all happening now

The government are now considering removing Andrew from the royal line of succession!

Couldn’t care less about that tbh.

1) there shouldn’t be a line of succession. Scrap the monarchy.

2) he’s so far down the line already, it doesn’t matter even if you do care.

Yes, maybe remove the royal family themselves from the line of succession and put an elected head of state in place.

President Blojo, President Thatcher... At least the royals have no official political power. A president would.

An elected president could have the same powers as those exercised by the monarch, i.e. almost none.

And then it would end up being more expensive, with less tourism over the royal family as well

One of France's biggest tourist attractions is the Palace of Versailles. The same could apply to the Windsors' various homes.

People visit France for art, the weather, and aute cuture. People visit the UK for its history and uniqueness. It would lose tourism, not gain it, and on a massive scale, if it lost the royal family.

Maybe a half measure of a 10 year vote on who should be king or queen, with all royals in the line of succession after a certain age appearing on thr ballot, would qork.

But I just don't see a president being cheaper or bringing any benefit. We'd invariably end up with populists as presidents too, President Farage, President Blojo, etc etc... Imagine...

It works in nearly every other republic in the world just fine. Ireland attracts a huge amount of tourism and we don’t have a monarchy (thankfully)!
