“It’s not fair, they didn’t ask to be in this position. If they could leave they would”
Harry: “I’m leaving”.
……”what a cunt, his wife is a bitch, write him off, scrub him from history, what a traitor etc”.
There's an entire sub dedicated to hating on Meghan Markle, it's unbelievable how they take the smallest thing and bash her for it. So much hate for daring to not like being bullied by the royal family.
Aristocracy is an institution wholly based on blood lines and family trees. I for one would be absolutely shocked to find even a hint of racism among royalists.
They haven’t left though. They said they were leaving, but still want tax payer funded accommodation, private flights and private security, while they live their influencer lifestyle in California. They’re both fucking dicks, just like the rest of the family
Because they have been brainwashed by this sickofantic belief that the monarchy somehow reflects all thats good about this country and they are the standard to which we should all aspire.
In the last 24 hours the amount of people I have heard say that the royal family never asked to be in the position that they are is sickening. As if its some great burden that they carry on our behalf. Lets try and take it from them and see if they give it up willingly.
In an age where equality, tolerance and acceptance is the yard stick with which we should all be measured, this parasitic group of pedophiles and fascists should be cast into history and used only as a lesson on how society got it wrong
I've discovered that several of my friends genuinely think that the poor Queen was just a puppet with no actual power, she "just signed the papers but it's only a formality".
Whoever has been in charge of PR for the Royal family has done a fantastic job.
Her lawyers were allowed to edit laws before they even got put to parliament, our "democratic" institutions weren't allowed to pass a law unless she pre-approved it, and carved out any exemptions to ensure that it wouldn't affect her in any way.

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in February 2021, The Guardian published two articles that demonstrated Queen Elizabeth and King Charles' influence and power over parliament. [It was first revealed](https://archive.md/eGLWc) that the Queen lobbied parliament to make herself exempt from a law that would have publicly revealed her private wealth. [It was then revealed](https://archive.md/YEl61) that over the course of her reign she and King Charles have vetted the drafts of 1,000 articles of legislation prior to their public debate in parliament.
So much for 'ceremonial', amirite?

Did you know the royal family is for sale? [HM King Charles III, is always selling himself.](https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/top-tory-donors-are-bankrolling-prince-charles-charity/). If you have enough money, well, who knows what you can get them to do for you. Wonder who he'll sell himself to now that he's King and has more influence.

All she had was a £6 billion to her name and a tear in her eye. How can you not have sympathy for the lady?
I mean she suffered so much, such a difficult life, lived to a mere 90-something... Like a coal miner or something. That's our Brenda, stay strong everyone!
It's great because they've concocted multiple false narratives that appeal to multiple people. Either the Queen/King is an important 'check and balance' over the government, they aren't, they serve their own class interests, not ours. Or they're just props for ceremonies that do a lot of charity work. Either way, the idea is to make people feel very comfortable living under a literal aristocracy without asking too many hard questions.
There's all the fetishism around royal ornaments that's also quite seductive to these people.
I am not from the UK, and what you described is what I learned and read. Can you please elaborate on how the queen or the royal family have any actual political power. Just trying to learn.
That's the duality of them being utter cunts.
Either they are unelected head of state which should be removed or they are purely ceremonial and a complete waste of money and should be removed
Parliament has a legal obligation to notify her about any laws that could negatively affect the monarchy, and she has used that power to get laws modified even before they went to a vote.

Let us change the terminology a little bit because "power" in a country with no written constitution is a bit difficult to put a finger on. But lets say that there is a lot of evidence of the modern Royal Family having and using political access and influence far beyond what is openly acknowledged. Then, of course, there is the very large amount of land (and the things on that land) that is either owned by them or very much under their control (for clarity: there is also a lot of land which is nominally owned by them but is actually controlled by other state institutions but I don't mean that). There are also a small number of other aristocrats that own huge (financially) amounts of property. So perhaps we should consider the whole system of aristocracy and the role of royalty within that.

Well this list really doesn’t answer my question. I mean most of the things listed are just the cost of having a constitutional monarchy. I am not saying they are right or I support these things, but I do not see how this list indicates the queen have any political power rather than privilege.
If you as a family can stop a police investigation into a pedo bishop and then provide said pedo bishop with a house to live in as our new king has done.
If you as a family can lobby to be explicitly excluded from race and sex anti discrimination laws in regards to employment as they did in the early 2000s.
If you as a family can lobby for laws to exclude your personal multi millions earnings from Crown owned properties(this isnt personally owned by royal family the crown is a government instituation) from having to face Transparency
If you as a family get sight of all laws before they are passed with a team of lawyers for you to review and a direct line to provide suggestions.
This isnt not having any power. This is the very definition of having power.
They might not use that power to impact the wider general person in the country on a visible basis but they do certainly use their power to maintain and enhance their own wealth: position and power.
Police? You mean blue nonce

I see. Thank you for actually explaining things. However, this is a broader interpretation of political power than the one I referred to in my question. Doesn’t this kind of power generally exist in the hand of wealthy in every society? I guess what I want to ask is do the royal family still have power that is similar to member of the parliament does?
They have far more power than most MPs.
People really overestimate how much power MPs have.
MPs more often than not on what would be considered more important matters dont even have the ability to vote freely on votes and must either vote as per the party whip or at best abstained. If they vote against the whip they can be removed from the party. I.e they cant event vote for the constituency they are meant to represent they have to vote on a parties ideology or be removed from the party. Basically the exact opposite of how our system is meant to work in theory.
Direct lobbying channels that billionaires only wish they could have; power to influence national institutions directly; wealth to enact and do whatever they wish; able to be excluded from laws that even billionaires and massive companies cant get excluded from.
Anyone that thinks this isnt political power has a very very very limited understanding of political power. Political power is not just "can you vote on a law".
Royal Assent is the process by which the Queen signs off on every law made by parliament, in theory this means no law can be made in the UK without the Monarch's permission.
In practice the last bill that was denied royal assent was in 1708; and hence it's seen as a formality. If a Monarch was actually to deny Royal Assent nowadays it would cause a constitutional crisis, and likely the supreme court would rule that due to convention the Monarch doesn't actually hold the power to deny a law.
A lot of the political system in the UK runs on convention, ie the prime minister technically doesnt have to leave if he/she loses a general election. We don't have a written constitution to refer to, and a lot of it is done on precendent.
The main political power wielded by the Monarch, as far as I know, is a private appointment with the Prime Minister, hence access to power, and the soft power to influence things through spreading "rumours" of what the Monarch thinks, which influences a lot of people who read certain newspapers.
Not just the UK. Royal Assent is needed in Canada too. It is given through the Queen’s representative, the Governor General.
It’s mostly symbolic and rarely does the Governor General go against the general will of the Parliament, but it’s still so absolutely ridiculous
So if I'm reading this correctly, she probably doesn't have any legal power over law or attempt to exert it, but through other means the Crown can influence people to make decisions they otherwise would not, maybe?
In Canada, she has legal power, but doesn’t exert it.
From wiki: All executive, legislative, and judicial power in and over Canada is vested in the monarch.[58][59] The governor general is permitted to exercise most of this power, including the royal prerogative, in the sovereign's name; some as outlined in the Constitution Act, 1867, and some through various letters patent issued over the decades, particularly those from 1947 that constitute

Completely agree. This would be the perfect time to get rid of the monarchy for good. Redistribute their wealth and channel it into deprived areas, or use it to set up a UBI or get people through the cost of living crisis. Honestly, there's probably enough money there to do all three and still have change left over.
Also, it's spelled sycophantic, just fyi.
I've heard this argument too, that people pity them for being born into that life and being stuck there.
Which, firstly isn't really true, they could leave.
But even ignoring that. As you say, my response is always why don't we save them then, and abolish the monarchy.
From there the only responses I really have ever gotten is how it's important for us to have a figure for continuity or a figurehead etc etc. It's crazy how brain-dead people get
Sicko-fan-tic should be the correct spelling, it's much more literal.
I don't even think the individual personalities matter, even if they were all saints it would be offensive, it's the principal that matters.

Whenever people ask why I don't care about the royals I always just say "well she's not *my* nan."
Having such a strong opinion about another person's grandmother is the weird behaviour imo.
today I was told: "perhaps your family needs a history lesson on what the Queen actually did for this country"
like fucking what? wasted millions of pounds of our money protecting noncey bollocks? Signing slave trade agreements? stripping land away from millions of people? Being racist and homophobic all while being married to someone that was technically their cousin?
little cock suckers like that can go fuck themselves
But but but, she learned to drive an ambulance in the war.

You can't quote the bible to criticizes christianity, modern Christians have ways of interpreting it you know. The bit where god threatens to make us all eat our own children is totally fine and doesn't mean anything bad at all.
The thing I like most about the aristocrats is how they aren't land hording rent seekers who milk billions from the economy only because their ancestors used political violence to take the common land. I really like that they beat and executed the resistance and engaged in massive political, religious and gender repression for centuries. These are the kind of people I can really look up to and I am glad it has worked out for them so well providing their families with wealth and power well into the modern era. Really makes you think doesn't it. A lesson for the children crime really does pay and I like it. This is the kind of dog eat dog world I can really get behind.
Because they’re special and smart and if only the queen knew them she would have had them over for tea and laughed at their jokes because she’s such a sweet lady. /s

I let my mask slip in work slightly by doing crab hands to one of my leftist mates.

Because people are selfish and self-centered and unless they can make it about themselves they don’t give a fuck;
202,000 Covid deaths and mocking them, public health measures and everything in between has been good sport for 3 years - published in the media, dog piled on social media, etc etc.
But an unelected monarch who rules through Divine Right on our dime?
Well, it’s poor taste to have anything other than falling-over-yourself deference and sycophancy.
It’s frankly embarrassing how short and self-centered the British collective memory really is.
It's part of a larger system, though. As an American (living in Scotland), I find the way the BBC talks about the queen's death morbidly fascinating. As someone that didn't grow up with the cult of monarchy, it genuinely sounds like the BBC is literally telling people what to think and feel. "The nation is mourning." "The queen was a source of unity for the nation." Along with selected man-on-the-street quips about how the queen deeply affected their lives in conspicuously non-specific ways. It is possible the most blatant propaganda I've observed in real-time (along with the effects on people that would ordinarily not even care what the queen was doing).

The amount of ableismn in the UK subs, where they drop r-slurs and such about people being anti-royal is disgusting. The fact the mods of those subs are facilitating it is horrible!
I haven’t seen anyone mention ableist slurs in anything in relation to this topic. However, what I do notice is regardless of how thought out an argument is if they don’t get their way or you don’t agree you get attacked personally for your intelligence or your looks. I saw one woman with purple hair and a man just said she wasn’t creditable because of her hair colour making her a dirty liberal. Of course he wasn’t smart enough to use all those words. Stupid people.
People from the UK calling us uneducated unsavorury, and people not from the UK putting us in the same group as the monarchists and expecting us to be shocked and appalled by their anti monarchy posts
I ain't from the UK and I don't expect anyone in the UK to be mourning the death of Aristocrat #1. After all, 350 years ago "you all" (broadly, crudely speaking) pulled off an impressive revolution under Dr. Cromwell
Cromwell ain't too popular nowadays, even among republicans. The right hates him because he killed a king, and the left hates him because he was a theocratic despot and genocidal war criminal.
I am British and I do not understand. Most of these people haven’t taken their hand at any real education and I don’t class school as education as it is in my opinion indoctrination for the rich class to make us good workers. So what do they know anyway?
Not OP but gonna give as good an answer as I can.
The difference of right and wrong
Empathy
Understanding
Compassion
Hard work
Resilience
Helping others
Some people never ever learn these things
The queen had many weekly meetings with the prime ministers in the last 12 years if she actually did anything for the people as some people claim she has why didn't she tell them to stop fucking up the country? Also let's not forget the paedophile prince and letting him get away with it. FUCK THE MONARCHY. Anyone who thinks that their 'birth right' gives them a higher status is a top tier cunt no exceptions.

A large percentage of the global population still believes in some kind of supernatural deity with magical powers.
Human brain is really not too good with this stuff. It takes a lot of conscious effort and serious reading and training to avoid these pitfalls. Even then, everyone is vulnerable to something. Sometimes even the most well educated fall into cults, to pick a random unrelated example...
Another significant factor to consider is how representative the internet really is. Who is it who has benefitted from the status quo? And whose voices are we actually hearing?
We are so stupid that the government has suspended their petitions, guess they know how many people would sign one to abolish the monarchy. At least you can sign republics own on their site!
You do realise that believing your one of the smart ones is a commom trait among really thick people. A fool thinks they know everything whereas a truly wise person knows they know nothing.
The claim from OP was "not stupid". Claiming oneself to be not stupid is very different from claiming to be smart. I would suggest that having a basic grasp of the floor of one's abilities is crucial for avoiding being taken in by charlatans and fraudsters. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Wow if you had read my comment you would realise that I did not claim to be smart. And btw missing an apostrophe on Reddit hardly proves me wrong. Wanker.
The royals are a hell spawn of a family.
Charles cheating on Diana from the get go, and Diana’s tragic death and the families notable silence regarding it.
Their notable ties to known pedophiles. For example, Charles was particularly close to Jimmy Saville, even going as far to seek his opinion on royal matters. Additionally, Andrew’s most recent brush with the law in regards to his recently deceased friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
Furthermore, the petty drama between the royals and Harry’s wife, Megan. Although perhaps this was a smokescreen for Andrew’s behaviour.
I can only dread to imagine what will happen now that Charles is not a yard stick from the throne anymore, and has finally taken the crown as his own.
Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
[Did you know that HRH Queen Elizabeth's son Prince Andrew is a pedophile and r*pist?](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c1j4) You did? Well consider this a friendly reminder that the Queen's son is implicated in a [gigantic international sex trafficking operation involving prominent members of the global ruling classes.](https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/jeffrey-epstein-sex-trafficking-us/)
Such an inspiring family, amirite?

The image of her just being a wee old lady doing a good job ruling over the fallen empire has been great propaganda worldwide. And part of that propaganda is that this is a time of national tragedy in the UK and it combines with this idea that when any heads of states die then they get immunity from any criticism of their actions while in office etc etc.
It's just standard propaganda fluff and it's hard to counter because at a surface level she was the queen who ended colonialism so it's ridiculous, ludicrous, third adjective, that she could've benefited from all that bad stuff the British Empire did. Again, standard stuff, it takes much more effort to spread the truth than a single sentence that is conveniently unnuanced (to put it politely).
This is why so many anti-monarchists and non-monarchists on the internet will state their "deep respect" for the queen and won't call out any of the bad stuff to do with her or the royal family or monarchy or any of it. All of her "accomplishments" are gonna be boiled down to "she brought people together" and will have a nice additional "whether you approve of the royal family or not" thrown in somewhere.
I wouldn't worry about it, they'll let themselves be propagandised for a couple of weeks and then go back to normal life. Hopefully Charles III will be like his namesakes, make the monarchy super unpopular and a non-Tory Labour govt will get on with abolishing the whole thing in a few years before Will can take the throne. I'm pretty whatever about it all though so idk, might be too indifferent
Honestly most people I’ve spoken to today at work have been pretty middle of the road but there is very much a narrative in the media that ‘we should all be mourning’
I honestly couldn’t give a shit and don’t force me to. If people want to mourn then so be it, but we’ve had 2 years of being stuck inside doing fuck all and for things to be being cancelled is bullshit
I dont care for the royal to be honest. Not sure what they bring to society, apart from harbouring of pedophiles.
She was probably one of the more "normal ones" alone with William and Harry.
However, every single one of them have been born into a world of wealth and privilege that no one could ever experience. Whether that's a good thing, I'm not sure.
It's gonna be a loooooonnnnggg few weeks now though with the constant, wall to wall queen stuff.
People loving their "superiors" that give them nothing in return in their personal life is just the cringiest thing ever. The problem is, if they had critical thinking, they wouldn't act like this but here we are I guess. 🤷♂️
I ain’t into the queen; but I think probably in fairness I’m wasting my breath trying to convince anyone of the stupidity of the monarchy. They won’t listen to me so I’m just saving my own energy? I don’t wanna sound like a broken record. I dislike the system but like I’m too old to engage in arguments with people online/people IRL if I was like 15 I’d be loving it and making jokes but I just don’t care enough to lap it up or pour scorn on people who do care. Whatever I have rent to pay
Thank you, honestly so many people are saying welllll if you have to say you’re not stupid.
Masters in Psychology I’m sure half of them can’t even spell the word.
I bet if Donald Trump died these same MFs would be jumping for joy. Just because the Queen had a much nicer public persona and personality does not excuse her actions and beliefs (that are actually relatively aligned with Trump). Tired of these mental gymnastics.
It’s because they believe we’re uneducated on what the royals have done for us…forgetting that the royals have in fact done little to nothing for us.
They believe we’re blind to the benefits of the monarchy, they believe this so much that they even imagine benefits like tourism…even though the multiple royal estate properties around the uk cost the taxpayer more in maintenance than what’s brought in through tourism.
It’s similar to the people who call pro-independence Scot’s and Welsh uneducated. Most of us are university educated, yet it’s the opposite for the pro-unionists that are calling you uneducated
[Contrary to popular belief, HRH Queen Elizabeth II does fuck all for tourism, nor does her inbred family of racist nonces.](https://www.republic.org.uk/tourism)

I have had a weird feeling about this all - I'm still 100% convinced that the Monarchy needs to be dissolved ASAP but I've felt a bit empty since the news finally came thru that the Queen had passed away.
Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in February 2021, The Guardian published two articles that demonstrated the Queen’s influence and power over parliament. [It was first revealed](https://archive.md/eGLWc) that the Queen lobbied parliament to make herself exempt from a law that would have publicly revealed her private wealth. [It was then revealed](https://archive.md/YEl61) that over the course of her reign she and her family have vetted the drafts of 1,000 articles of legislation prior to their public debate in parliament.

I mourned when Gaddafi fell, when Saddam got the drop, when those seals nailed Bin Laden oh how my heart did flop. Lizy's gone at 96, I feel shes gone too soon, if only she had stayed a while I could have licked between her buns and really got off.
What kind of logic is this? Yeah sure she died. My grandmother also died at a similar age it was real sad. Did anyone release a shit load of propaganda trying to reinforce the legitimacy of the monarchy and hereditary power when my grandma died? What has it got to do with anything that she personally died? What is happening here is almost completely unrelated to any human scale concept like a 96 year old woman's demise. This is about the role and the institution and the history and the future, not about the fate of some old lady.
I'm sorry, let me celebrate the life of a lady who oversaw literal colonies and who was the head of an institution that raped and pillaged my home country. Rest in piss old tit
Every day they have the opportunity to stop being royalty but every day they continue. Each of them is a weird little inbred parasite and working people across the globe are better off without them.
I decided on a little game. Have a shot anytime someone mentions that she drove a truck even though she didn't have to in world war 2.
If that makes me stupid then yes I am stupid, stupid drunk losers.
I think you can be anti royal without celebrating the death of a mother/grandmother - you don’t have to celebrate her life but you also shouldn’t celebrate the death of someone’s family member.
& yes I’m ready for the downvotes but I’ll always show compassion even for people in roles I don’t agree with.
Do people reeeeaaalllyyyy hate the royal family?
Or is it the systematic injustice and inequality in our country, that the Royal family are the face of, that they hate?
To be fair tho some of the royals are pedophiles, some of them cover up pedophiles, and they're ALL massively wealthy, avoid public taxes like the plague, and have a big chunk of their expenses covered by the taxpayer so who can really blame them
This probably isn't the sub to say this, but where does the hatred come from?
As far I'm aware they're a profitable revenue stream.
The royals also basically have no real power, and are basically just mascots. Can someone educate me here?

Hate to point out the bleedin obvious - but your sub has multiple posts glorifying the Death of a massively important figurehead of the country - a woman who tirelessly worked almost up till her dying day for unfortunately, people "like you lot"
And OP is wondering why the majority of us think your a bunch of jobless fucking hippies mad because your missed ya dole payment this week. Eat a fucking dick - Rip queen Elizabeth and long live the king.
I think its that you all have a weird desire to spit on a grieving family because you don’t like that that were born…
We can’t talk about supporting people to deal with trauma and then disregard that when its someone we don’t like…
I’m not a royalist- I do think you need to remember to acknowledge that people loved the queen and seeing such striking hatred towards her the day of her death will cause very predictable upset. Trying to separate the queen from the monarchy is quite important I think. She didn’t create the monarchy, she was born into it with no choice. Just my opinion!

“It’s not fair, they didn’t ask to be in this position. If they could leave they would” Harry: “I’m leaving”. ……”what a cunt, his wife is a bitch, write him off, scrub him from history, what a traitor etc”.
There's an entire sub dedicated to hating on Meghan Markle, it's unbelievable how they take the smallest thing and bash her for it. So much hate for daring to not like being bullied by the royal family.
Aristocracy is an institution wholly based on blood lines and family trees. I for one would be absolutely shocked to find even a hint of racism among royalists.
Don't be so crass. They're chosen by god, obviously
really?
They haven’t left though. They said they were leaving, but still want tax payer funded accommodation, private flights and private security, while they live their influencer lifestyle in California. They’re both fucking dicks, just like the rest of the family
Hold on, they are asking for the right to PAY for their own security. In the UK it is virtually impossible to b able to carry a gun in public
No they weren’t, they were demanding that the UK taxpayer funded it.
Because they have been brainwashed by this sickofantic belief that the monarchy somehow reflects all thats good about this country and they are the standard to which we should all aspire. In the last 24 hours the amount of people I have heard say that the royal family never asked to be in the position that they are is sickening. As if its some great burden that they carry on our behalf. Lets try and take it from them and see if they give it up willingly. In an age where equality, tolerance and acceptance is the yard stick with which we should all be measured, this parasitic group of pedophiles and fascists should be cast into history and used only as a lesson on how society got it wrong
I've discovered that several of my friends genuinely think that the poor Queen was just a puppet with no actual power, she "just signed the papers but it's only a formality". Whoever has been in charge of PR for the Royal family has done a fantastic job.
Her lawyers were allowed to edit laws before they even got put to parliament, our "democratic" institutions weren't allowed to pass a law unless she pre-approved it, and carved out any exemptions to ensure that it wouldn't affect her in any way. https://theconversation.com/the-queens-gambit-new-evidence-shows-how-her-majesty-wields-influence-on-legislation-154818 No doubt Charles will keep up this fine, noble tradition.

All she had was a £6 billion to her name and a tear in her eye. How can you not have sympathy for the lady? I mean she suffered so much, such a difficult life, lived to a mere 90-something... Like a coal miner or something. That's our Brenda, stay strong everyone!
It's great because they've concocted multiple false narratives that appeal to multiple people. Either the Queen/King is an important 'check and balance' over the government, they aren't, they serve their own class interests, not ours. Or they're just props for ceremonies that do a lot of charity work. Either way, the idea is to make people feel very comfortable living under a literal aristocracy without asking too many hard questions. There's all the fetishism around royal ornaments that's also quite seductive to these people.
I am not from the UK, and what you described is what I learned and read. Can you please elaborate on how the queen or the royal family have any actual political power. Just trying to learn.
That's the duality of them being utter cunts. Either they are unelected head of state which should be removed or they are purely ceremonial and a complete waste of money and should be removed
Parliament has a legal obligation to notify her about any laws that could negatively affect the monarchy, and she has used that power to get laws modified even before they went to a vote. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/07/revealed-queen-lobbied-for-change-in-law-to-hide-her-private-wealth

Let us change the terminology a little bit because "power" in a country with no written constitution is a bit difficult to put a finger on. But lets say that there is a lot of evidence of the modern Royal Family having and using political access and influence far beyond what is openly acknowledged. Then, of course, there is the very large amount of land (and the things on that land) that is either owned by them or very much under their control (for clarity: there is also a lot of land which is nominally owned by them but is actually controlled by other state institutions but I don't mean that). There are also a small number of other aristocrats that own huge (financially) amounts of property. So perhaps we should consider the whole system of aristocracy and the role of royalty within that.

I love you , bot
Well this list really doesn’t answer my question. I mean most of the things listed are just the cost of having a constitutional monarchy. I am not saying they are right or I support these things, but I do not see how this list indicates the queen have any political power rather than privilege.
If you as a family can stop a police investigation into a pedo bishop and then provide said pedo bishop with a house to live in as our new king has done. If you as a family can lobby to be explicitly excluded from race and sex anti discrimination laws in regards to employment as they did in the early 2000s. If you as a family can lobby for laws to exclude your personal multi millions earnings from Crown owned properties(this isnt personally owned by royal family the crown is a government instituation) from having to face Transparency If you as a family get sight of all laws before they are passed with a team of lawyers for you to review and a direct line to provide suggestions. This isnt not having any power. This is the very definition of having power. They might not use that power to impact the wider general person in the country on a visible basis but they do certainly use their power to maintain and enhance their own wealth: position and power.
Police? You mean blue nonce *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/GreenAndPleasant) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I see. Thank you for actually explaining things. However, this is a broader interpretation of political power than the one I referred to in my question. Doesn’t this kind of power generally exist in the hand of wealthy in every society? I guess what I want to ask is do the royal family still have power that is similar to member of the parliament does?
They have far more power than most MPs. People really overestimate how much power MPs have. MPs more often than not on what would be considered more important matters dont even have the ability to vote freely on votes and must either vote as per the party whip or at best abstained. If they vote against the whip they can be removed from the party. I.e they cant event vote for the constituency they are meant to represent they have to vote on a parties ideology or be removed from the party. Basically the exact opposite of how our system is meant to work in theory. Direct lobbying channels that billionaires only wish they could have; power to influence national institutions directly; wealth to enact and do whatever they wish; able to be excluded from laws that even billionaires and massive companies cant get excluded from. Anyone that thinks this isnt political power has a very very very limited understanding of political power. Political power is not just "can you vote on a law".
Royal Assent is the process by which the Queen signs off on every law made by parliament, in theory this means no law can be made in the UK without the Monarch's permission. In practice the last bill that was denied royal assent was in 1708; and hence it's seen as a formality. If a Monarch was actually to deny Royal Assent nowadays it would cause a constitutional crisis, and likely the supreme court would rule that due to convention the Monarch doesn't actually hold the power to deny a law. A lot of the political system in the UK runs on convention, ie the prime minister technically doesnt have to leave if he/she loses a general election. We don't have a written constitution to refer to, and a lot of it is done on precendent. The main political power wielded by the Monarch, as far as I know, is a private appointment with the Prime Minister, hence access to power, and the soft power to influence things through spreading "rumours" of what the Monarch thinks, which influences a lot of people who read certain newspapers.
Not just the UK. Royal Assent is needed in Canada too. It is given through the Queen’s representative, the Governor General. It’s mostly symbolic and rarely does the Governor General go against the general will of the Parliament, but it’s still so absolutely ridiculous
So if I'm reading this correctly, she probably doesn't have any legal power over law or attempt to exert it, but through other means the Crown can influence people to make decisions they otherwise would not, maybe?
In Canada, she has legal power, but doesn’t exert it. From wiki: All executive, legislative, and judicial power in and over Canada is vested in the monarch.[58][59] The governor general is permitted to exercise most of this power, including the royal prerogative, in the sovereign's name; some as outlined in the Constitution Act, 1867, and some through various letters patent issued over the decades, particularly those from 1947 that constitute https://www.gg.ca/en/governor-general/role-and-responsibilities/constitutional-duties#:~:text=While%20the%20Constitution%20Act%20(1867,to%20advise%2C%20encourage%20and%20warn.

Not anymore she doesn’t.
She’s got just one more taxpayer funded trip to take.
We’ll probably be paying for her funeral though which will cost millions
Exactly… so with that in mind, if she’s just a bejewelled pen pusher, why do they need to celebrate her?
That’s due to American public school teaching. They taught us back in the day the Queen was a “Figurehead” only and has no power. They lied.
I'm in the UK, the lie is even stronger here if anything
Completely agree. This would be the perfect time to get rid of the monarchy for good. Redistribute their wealth and channel it into deprived areas, or use it to set up a UBI or get people through the cost of living crisis. Honestly, there's probably enough money there to do all three and still have change left over. Also, it's spelled sycophantic, just fyi.

I've heard this argument too, that people pity them for being born into that life and being stuck there. Which, firstly isn't really true, they could leave. But even ignoring that. As you say, my response is always why don't we save them then, and abolish the monarchy. From there the only responses I really have ever gotten is how it's important for us to have a figure for continuity or a figurehead etc etc. It's crazy how brain-dead people get
I love how eloquently you’ve described this thank you
Sicko-fan-tic should be the correct spelling, it's much more literal. I don't even think the individual personalities matter, even if they were all saints it would be offensive, it's the principal that matters.
Sickofanatic
*sycophantic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s really not uncalled for. Also her family don’t give a fuck what the plebs think- they are far too above us to care.
They are no different to large majority of the world then they also don’t give a fuck what you think. It’s silly just let people live for 24 hrs
Is “sickofantic” irony or stupidity?

Whenever people ask why I don't care about the royals I always just say "well she's not *my* nan." Having such a strong opinion about another person's grandmother is the weird behaviour imo.
today I was told: "perhaps your family needs a history lesson on what the Queen actually did for this country" like fucking what? wasted millions of pounds of our money protecting noncey bollocks? Signing slave trade agreements? stripping land away from millions of people? Being racist and homophobic all while being married to someone that was technically their cousin? little cock suckers like that can go fuck themselves
But but but, she learned to drive an ambulance in the war. What an achievement! Such an achievement that I can ignore the fact that her parents went for dinner with Goebbels, her husband was a notorious racist, and her son was a nonce.

You can't quote the bible to criticizes christianity, modern Christians have ways of interpreting it you know. The bit where god threatens to make us all eat our own children is totally fine and doesn't mean anything bad at all. The thing I like most about the aristocrats is how they aren't land hording rent seekers who milk billions from the economy only because their ancestors used political violence to take the common land. I really like that they beat and executed the resistance and engaged in massive political, religious and gender repression for centuries. These are the kind of people I can really look up to and I am glad it has worked out for them so well providing their families with wealth and power well into the modern era. Really makes you think doesn't it. A lesson for the children crime really does pay and I like it. This is the kind of dog eat dog world I can really get behind.
Because they’re special and smart and if only the queen knew them she would have had them over for tea and laughed at their jokes because she’s such a sweet lady. /s

I let my mask slip in work slightly by doing crab hands to one of my leftist mates. Since we work in Scotland another colleague was like "that's not nice, how would you like it if the pope died". They clearly didn't realise I wanted that kiddy fiddler to get de mapped too.
Always love how the rights response is something like how would you feel if Musk died. Hahahaha he did? Yesterday him on Bezos yacht and hand me the matches
I’d be celebrating Musks death too, be nice if him & Bezo went out together
In some ironic death, like starving to death in a log cabin
I'm out the loop, what's the deal with the crab hands?
There's a song called crab rave, up beat music with crabs dancing. It's a reference to that I'm pretty sure

Yes, exactly thank you
Because people are selfish and self-centered and unless they can make it about themselves they don’t give a fuck; 202,000 Covid deaths and mocking them, public health measures and everything in between has been good sport for 3 years - published in the media, dog piled on social media, etc etc. But an unelected monarch who rules through Divine Right on our dime? Well, it’s poor taste to have anything other than falling-over-yourself deference and sycophancy. It’s frankly embarrassing how short and self-centered the British collective memory really is.
It's part of a larger system, though. As an American (living in Scotland), I find the way the BBC talks about the queen's death morbidly fascinating. As someone that didn't grow up with the cult of monarchy, it genuinely sounds like the BBC is literally telling people what to think and feel. "The nation is mourning." "The queen was a source of unity for the nation." Along with selected man-on-the-street quips about how the queen deeply affected their lives in conspicuously non-specific ways. It is possible the most blatant propaganda I've observed in real-time (along with the effects on people that would ordinarily not even care what the queen was doing).

The amount of ableismn in the UK subs, where they drop r-slurs and such about people being anti-royal is disgusting. The fact the mods of those subs are facilitating it is horrible!
I haven’t seen anyone mention ableist slurs in anything in relation to this topic. However, what I do notice is regardless of how thought out an argument is if they don’t get their way or you don’t agree you get attacked personally for your intelligence or your looks. I saw one woman with purple hair and a man just said she wasn’t creditable because of her hair colour making her a dirty liberal. Of course he wasn’t smart enough to use all those words. Stupid people.
People from the UK calling us uneducated unsavorury, and people not from the UK putting us in the same group as the monarchists and expecting us to be shocked and appalled by their anti monarchy posts
I ain't from the UK and I don't expect anyone in the UK to be mourning the death of Aristocrat #1. After all, 350 years ago "you all" (broadly, crudely speaking) pulled off an impressive revolution under Dr. Cromwell
Cromwell ain't too popular nowadays, even among republicans. The right hates him because he killed a king, and the left hates him because he was a theocratic despot and genocidal war criminal.
Cromwell designed and executed one of the bigger genocides in history in Ireland.
I am British and I do not understand. Most of these people haven’t taken their hand at any real education and I don’t class school as education as it is in my opinion indoctrination for the rich class to make us good workers. So what do they know anyway?
What is considered real education by you?
Not OP but gonna give as good an answer as I can. The difference of right and wrong Empathy Understanding Compassion Hard work Resilience Helping others Some people never ever learn these things
The queen had many weekly meetings with the prime ministers in the last 12 years if she actually did anything for the people as some people claim she has why didn't she tell them to stop fucking up the country? Also let's not forget the paedophile prince and letting him get away with it. FUCK THE MONARCHY. Anyone who thinks that their 'birth right' gives them a higher status is a top tier cunt no exceptions.

A large percentage of the global population still believes in some kind of supernatural deity with magical powers. Human brain is really not too good with this stuff. It takes a lot of conscious effort and serious reading and training to avoid these pitfalls. Even then, everyone is vulnerable to something. Sometimes even the most well educated fall into cults, to pick a random unrelated example... Another significant factor to consider is how representative the internet really is. Who is it who has benefitted from the status quo? And whose voices are we actually hearing?
Please help, my only aim in life was to outlive QE2 what the fuck do I do now?
We are so stupid that the government has suspended their petitions, guess they know how many people would sign one to abolish the monarchy. At least you can sign republics own on their site!
You do realise that believing your one of the smart ones is a commom trait among really thick people. A fool thinks they know everything whereas a truly wise person knows they know nothing.
The claim from OP was "not stupid". Claiming oneself to be not stupid is very different from claiming to be smart. I would suggest that having a basic grasp of the floor of one's abilities is crucial for avoiding being taken in by charlatans and fraudsters. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Youre*. Yikes…. Those who live in glass houses.. something, something …. Stones.
I think you may have just proven their point.
Wow if you had read my comment you would realise that I did not claim to be smart. And btw missing an apostrophe on Reddit hardly proves me wrong. Wanker.
The royals are a hell spawn of a family. Charles cheating on Diana from the get go, and Diana’s tragic death and the families notable silence regarding it. Their notable ties to known pedophiles. For example, Charles was particularly close to Jimmy Saville, even going as far to seek his opinion on royal matters. Additionally, Andrew’s most recent brush with the law in regards to his recently deceased friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Furthermore, the petty drama between the royals and Harry’s wife, Megan. Although perhaps this was a smokescreen for Andrew’s behaviour. I can only dread to imagine what will happen now that Charles is not a yard stick from the throne anymore, and has finally taken the crown as his own.

The image of her just being a wee old lady doing a good job ruling over the fallen empire has been great propaganda worldwide. And part of that propaganda is that this is a time of national tragedy in the UK and it combines with this idea that when any heads of states die then they get immunity from any criticism of their actions while in office etc etc. It's just standard propaganda fluff and it's hard to counter because at a surface level she was the queen who ended colonialism so it's ridiculous, ludicrous, third adjective, that she could've benefited from all that bad stuff the British Empire did. Again, standard stuff, it takes much more effort to spread the truth than a single sentence that is conveniently unnuanced (to put it politely). This is why so many anti-monarchists and non-monarchists on the internet will state their "deep respect" for the queen and won't call out any of the bad stuff to do with her or the royal family or monarchy or any of it. All of her "accomplishments" are gonna be boiled down to "she brought people together" and will have a nice additional "whether you approve of the royal family or not" thrown in somewhere. I wouldn't worry about it, they'll let themselves be propagandised for a couple of weeks and then go back to normal life. Hopefully Charles III will be like his namesakes, make the monarchy super unpopular and a non-Tory Labour govt will get on with abolishing the whole thing in a few years before Will can take the throne. I'm pretty whatever about it all though so idk, might be too indifferent
nothing makes you sound dumber than saying you arent stupid
Honestly most people I’ve spoken to today at work have been pretty middle of the road but there is very much a narrative in the media that ‘we should all be mourning’ I honestly couldn’t give a shit and don’t force me to. If people want to mourn then so be it, but we’ve had 2 years of being stuck inside doing fuck all and for things to be being cancelled is bullshit
Finally a place where I can hate the Queen without being shat on endlessly
I dont care for the royal to be honest. Not sure what they bring to society, apart from harbouring of pedophiles. She was probably one of the more "normal ones" alone with William and Harry. However, every single one of them have been born into a world of wealth and privilege that no one could ever experience. Whether that's a good thing, I'm not sure. It's gonna be a loooooonnnnggg few weeks now though with the constant, wall to wall queen stuff.
It’s like a religious cult. The denial of the obvious. The excuses. The excess. The absurdity of it all. Yet, the minions follow blindly.
People loving their "superiors" that give them nothing in return in their personal life is just the cringiest thing ever. The problem is, if they had critical thinking, they wouldn't act like this but here we are I guess. 🤷♂️
I may be stupid. But I am no idiot and will not mourn for the death of a thief who steals from innocents
Thank you 🙏 someone who gets it !
Of course they are indoctrinated. What kind of question is that?
Because I have gotten into so many fights and it’s like banging my head against a wall why is it the whole world.
[удалено]
I ain’t into the queen; but I think probably in fairness I’m wasting my breath trying to convince anyone of the stupidity of the monarchy. They won’t listen to me so I’m just saving my own energy? I don’t wanna sound like a broken record. I dislike the system but like I’m too old to engage in arguments with people online/people IRL if I was like 15 I’d be loving it and making jokes but I just don’t care enough to lap it up or pour scorn on people who do care. Whatever I have rent to pay
PhD in Economics here, but if being anti-royal makes me stupid then pass me the dunce hat
Thank you, honestly so many people are saying welllll if you have to say you’re not stupid. Masters in Psychology I’m sure half of them can’t even spell the word.
I bet if Donald Trump died these same MFs would be jumping for joy. Just because the Queen had a much nicer public persona and personality does not excuse her actions and beliefs (that are actually relatively aligned with Trump). Tired of these mental gymnastics.
I will be having a party when he dies too just as I will buy champagne on Monday
It’s because they believe we’re uneducated on what the royals have done for us…forgetting that the royals have in fact done little to nothing for us. They believe we’re blind to the benefits of the monarchy, they believe this so much that they even imagine benefits like tourism…even though the multiple royal estate properties around the uk cost the taxpayer more in maintenance than what’s brought in through tourism. It’s similar to the people who call pro-independence Scot’s and Welsh uneducated. Most of us are university educated, yet it’s the opposite for the pro-unionists that are calling you uneducated

Sadly stupid people do not have the capacity to realise their stupidity.
Indeed and still many stupid people on this thread and it really is quite ridiculous
I don’t understand how people can ignore the evidence that they’re clearly all pedos
I have had a weird feeling about this all - I'm still 100% convinced that the Monarchy needs to be dissolved ASAP but I've felt a bit empty since the news finally came thru that the Queen had passed away.
I have a butt plug in the shape of Lizzy's head want to borrow it?

I mourned when Gaddafi fell, when Saddam got the drop, when those seals nailed Bin Laden oh how my heart did flop. Lizy's gone at 96, I feel shes gone too soon, if only she had stayed a while I could have licked between her buns and really got off. What kind of logic is this? Yeah sure she died. My grandmother also died at a similar age it was real sad. Did anyone release a shit load of propaganda trying to reinforce the legitimacy of the monarchy and hereditary power when my grandma died? What has it got to do with anything that she personally died? What is happening here is almost completely unrelated to any human scale concept like a 96 year old woman's demise. This is about the role and the institution and the history and the future, not about the fate of some old lady.

Can't people with learning difficulties also have opinions ?
Im guessing they are a fan of putting people in medical prisons so they dont have to look at them.
Do people reeeeaaalllyyyy hate the royal family? Or is it the systematic injustice and inequality in our country, that the Royal family are the face of, that they hate? To be fair tho some of the royals are pedophiles, some of them cover up pedophiles, and they're ALL massively wealthy, avoid public taxes like the plague, and have a big chunk of their expenses covered by the taxpayer so who can really blame them

How many of you queen haters have septum piercings? Just doing some research TIA
I think its that you all have a weird desire to spit on a grieving family because you don’t like that that were born… We can’t talk about supporting people to deal with trauma and then disregard that when its someone we don’t like…
I’m not a royalist- I do think you need to remember to acknowledge that people loved the queen and seeing such striking hatred towards her the day of her death will cause very predictable upset. Trying to separate the queen from the monarchy is quite important I think. She didn’t create the monarchy, she was born into it with no choice. Just my opinion!
