None of the arguments for a monarchy makes any sense. BUT, if so many people are still happy with it, who are we to deprive them of their happiness?

An era where someone enjoys huge wealth and privilege merely due to the coincidence of birth, should be well in the past. BUT, is that not also true for the advantages – albeit not necessarily wealth or affluence- accorded a non-royal child born in the UK versus one born in Honduras?

Society must learn to be tolerant. I am not a royalist and quite frankly, fail to see the relevance of it, but when you see tens of thousands come out in support, even if they are no longer the majority, do their views not count?
It doesn’t matter what my personal opinion of the monarchy is, if so many people still derive such joy from a coronation, then they still want to be ruled by a monarch and that is indeed their choice and they are entitled to it

As for those opposed, their opinion is also valid and they are entitled to it. Some of their arguments are equally wonky. Are elected politicians any better? Some of them act like Kings anyway (or think they are; great example is Trump and he is not an isolated case). Human beings cannot exist without seeking to elevate some; be it pop stars or just ‘celebrities’ as they are now referred to, which could be anyone who appears on telly for 5 minutes, for whatever reason!
The royal family are a soft target for people to moan about, when they actually serve a much greater purpose than someone making millions for being an “influencer” on Tik Tok who is actively leading teenagers to a bunch of wrong choices in life!

If you ask the average Brit who think they are more British than others, why they feel so, they will state it is because of their lineage and the centuries of contribution their great, great great grandparents made to the country etc. Well, then perhaps the royal family are likewise entitled to their status as a result of what their ancestors did and the positions they held. An average Brit needs a holiday, ups and goes; these folk (royals) can’t just head anywhere. They can’t say what they think half the time, they have to exercise restraint all their life. Yes, some may say it’s their choice and they have so many perks, but you go and try living their life for a day! You’ll find it ain’t as easy as it looks…

I don’t see any need for hostilities. Whichever side you support (royalist or republican), it is what it is…

Way I see it, as long as some still clamour for it, what is the harm?
Some have been moaning about the display of wealth; well, ok. But is that not what various millionaires and billionaires do daily?

It remains a matter of opinion….
