There must be something comforting about knowing who your rulers will be in the future. I wish we were that sure.British royalty.jpg

Lovely family but they aren’t rulers.

We are not a monarchy. We are a "republic if you can keep it" as Benjamin Franklin said.

@deepwaterdotter.  I certainly am.  Extremely so.

 

The real leader in  GB is the prime minister and. there's no telling who that will be.  The Royal Family  strictly ceremonial figureheads.

The Royal Family doesn't rule anything, they can't vote or get involved in politics nor offer their opinion.  They must remain neutral.

 

The Royal Family dresses up pretty and they  raise money for charity.  They get paid well for that.

Yes, the House of Windsor will "rule" Great Britain far into the future.

I can't help but feel that Prince George is thinking "hurry up and take the snap so I can get out of this dweebie shirt!"
