Anything that ends the monarchy quicker is fine. Biggest case of Stockholm syndrome ever.

It will not end, it will only begin. The monarchy under the queen was very popular. As Charles took over, it lost a bit of its prestige, as Charles has too much bad publicity in the last three decades. But it was okay to let people turn away für some years as it was clear that there will be a Second Lady Diana Moment as soon as William and Kate will take over. People Loooove them. They will be the reason the boulevard press will survive the next three decades. Mark my words: Monarch in the UK is not dying but will just awake new under W+K - especially in miserable times like these. People cling to that shit like it is their own live, because some people include it into the center of their own life.
