	British monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British monarch or Sovereign is the head of state of the United Kingdom and in the British overseas territories.
		Thus, as the modern British monarchy is a constitutional one, the Sovereign's role is in practice limited to non-partisan functions (such as being the Fount of honour).
		The war culminated in the execution of the king, the overthrow of the monarchy, and the establishment of a republic known as the Commonwealth of England.

	WHY THE BRITISH MONARCHY IS NOT FALLING
		The British Civil War was a genuine civil war between the classes for supremacy, and the people won the day, converting the British monarchy into a constitutional monarchy; yet the basis for the constitutional monarchy lay in the remote past, in 1215 at Runnymede.
		What has guaranteed the British monarchy's longevity, for this generation, was the compassion of the British public for the son of Princess Diana, the future king of the United Kingdom.
		Additionally, the prerogatives of the monarchy are put at the disposal of the democratically and popularly elected members of parliament, who form the Cabinet, separating the political duties from the ceremonial obligations of royalty, and guaranteeing a balance that must be maintained by the diligence of the parties, including the monarch.

	A brief guide to the British monarchy
		In a monarchy the head of state, the nation's representative-in-chief, inherits that position from her or his parents and is entitled to hold it until death.
		Supporters of monarchy at one time based the monarch's claim to power on "divine right." They said that the privilege was given by God.
		In Britain we now have a "constitutional monarchy" in which the monarch acknowledges the rights of the legislature and the executive branch of government.

		But the lurid claims of warnings from the Queen, of homosexual rape in the royal household, and of the general conduct of the royal family, are highly damaging regardless of their truth - and have been taken up by the republicans in the media and used to cause the greatest damage possible.
		An argument consequent on this is that the Monarchy is a survival from the time before the middle-class revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries.
		The Monarchy is not simply an ancient institution that is harmless and that ought therefore to be left alone.

		The British people, who are Israelites, under The Covenant, have been betrayed; impoverished and oppressed by the monarchy through-out its long and evil existence, because the people themselves have not kept The Covenant, that they swore at Sinai to keep for ever.

		Advocates of maintaining the monarchy say having Elizabeth as the symbolic head of a great nation, performing ceremonial duties, is worth the $65 million it costs British taxpayers every year.
		Foes, however, portray the monarchy and its birthright of privilege and wealth as anachronisms in the 21st century.
		Because the monarchy has been around for so long and survived so many personalities, Lacey doesn't soon foresee a day when it will disappear — as long as monarchs, such as Elizabeth, do their duty and put the country before themselves.

	LONDON TOWN - British Monarchy - The Royal Family
		But this is not true because the monarchy has no power to restrict politicians, and in fact ensures that they have power for which they are not accountable.
		If you have a monarchy, then it is there by hereditary right, and the British public don't want to change this (according to recent polls; if you think 1 in 3 being republican is a tiny minority!).
		So, they talk about having a monarchy, but in their actions they want to exercise their right to take a vote and dictate how it is run.

		The Queen Mother, by contrast was someone who still commanded wide-spread regard and the royals have thus attempted to strike a more personal note in their public tributes to her.

		And with William in the works, I mean, he is the vital part of the equation, because I really do think that without William, the monarchy would be doomed after the death of Elizabeth II in 25 years time.
		I think we still need a monarchy, because of course the pomp and pageantry and ceremonial that is associated with the royal family and the trappings of monarchy do attract a lot of tourism and many millions of dollars to the country.
		And the British opinion polls have swung 180 degrees in the last three years since Diana's death, saying they wouldn't mind Charles marrying Camilla, but not to be her queen in the sense that she should be consort but not the -- obviously, the queen in waiting, as it were.

	British Monarchy Illigitimate?
		The threat has always been that the commons would abolish the monarchy if the monarch were to exercise the royal perogative, as it is called, and refuse to sign.
		As a non-political body (as the monarchy are deemed to be above politics) the royal family are useful for conducting trade talks or other negotiations with foreign governments particularly where the government of the day might not wish to seem to be associated directly.
		Obviously the prime minister can ignore any input from the monarch but it is not in their interest to promote a constitutional crisis and so it is likely there are compromises made.

	The Nazi Roots of the House of Windsor
		One of the biggest public relations hoaxes ever perpetrated by the British Crown, is that King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1938, due to his support for the Nazis, was a ``fl sheep,'' an aberration in an otherwise unblemished Windsor line.
		The British monarchy, and the City of London's leading Crown bankers, enthusiastically backed Hitler and the Nazis, bankrolled the Führer's election, and did everything possible to build the Nazi war machine, for Britain's planned geopolitical war between Germany and Russia.
		Through much of World War II, secret channels of communication were maintained between the British royal family and their pro-Hitler cousins in Germany, by Lord Mountbatten, through his sister Louise, who was crown princess of pro-Nazi Sweden.

	USS Clueless - Queen and Commonwealth
		Given the general British tendency to deal with these kinds of issues on the basis of consensus and tradition rather than for them to be based on any kind of specific charter, a lot of this is really quite fuzzy.
		But de facto the British Parliament had none and I don't recall hearing of any attempt by the British Parliament to try to exercise any such influence in the latter half of the 20th Century.
		If the UK ratifies the European Constitution, it doesn't abolish the monarchy, and my best guess is that the Queen and her heirs likely would continue the same non-relationship with the nations of the Commonwealth, who would continue to swear loyalty to her symbolically, and then ignore her, just as they do now.
