Reshuffle in UK ruling class: Will the Monarchy get abolished? - OPINION

Interviews 18:00 16.02.2024

In Great Britain, with the cancer of King Charles III, a change of personnel began in the ruling classes. The left-wing Labor opposition is using the problems of the royal family to raise the issue of abolishing the institution of the monarchy.

If this is the case, what does the future hold for the kingdom? Can the monarchy be abolished?

According to Neil Watson, a British political expert who answered the question of Ednews, there are currently many people who demand the abolition of the monarchy:

"The Labour Party is not particularly left-wing. I would describe it as being only just left of center and the current leader, Sir Keir Starmer, is a former Chief Prosecutor. According to the most recent poll, around 60 percent of Labour Party members favour the preservation of the monarchy. Furthermore, the monarchy plays no political role - that is left to the elected Prime Minister and the Members of Parliament. However, such radical groups as Republic have been calling for the abolition of the monarchy and these demands have increased since the passing of the Queen. Amongst people aged 18 to 35, 20 percent would like to see an elected head of state. It is a fact that the King is suffering from cancer, Catherine, Princess of Wales has been suffering from an abdominal illness and Prince Andrew, Duke of York has become embroiled in the Epstein scandal and suspended all royal duties."

Expert noted that the existence of the monarchy brings a large amount of income to the Kingdom, and therefore its abolition is not expected:

"Prince Harry only visited his father briefly once the cancer diagnosis was revealed and it is by no means certain that he will return to his royal duties. It is undeniable that there is a lack of leading royals at present. However, there is no doubt that the monarchy will continue. They are a tremendous tourist draw and bring billions of pounds into the country annually. It may be time for rationalizing those on the civil list and reassessing royal privileges, but there is a long line of lineage for the prime royal positions. The institution of the monarchy is in no danger of dying out. King Charles already had a coronation on a smaller scale than his predecessors and I believe he will welcome the chance to reshape the monarchy for the modern age. However, before that, he needs to recover from his cancer."
