Rosesarered was kind enough to suggest my earlier post should be a thread of its own so here goes. I have copied below my previous post from the National Anthem Debate for comments.
Perhaps, whitewave, the real question that should be put is:
If the hereditary monarchy did not already exist in UK would you vote for one to be created today?
How would that royal family be chosen?
Every family's name dropped into a big drum and one picked or the strongest warring faction wins?
And the one lucky winner gets all - big houses, job for life, jobs for life for their kids for all time etc.

How can Anniebach be Princess Anne when she hob-nobbed with Michael Foot in her younger days? And even knows the truth about that jacket...wink

Who? Princess Anne hobnobbed with Michael Foot? shock
Why didn't I read about that in the gutter press?

Is the jacket a bit like the blue dress?

grin I did realise the ambiguity of my post too late, but hoped no one would point it out!
