Soft power

While I am not mad about the Royal family, they do give the Country a degree of soft power around the World and to a degree keep the countries of the commonwealth onside. So I am bothered by Harry and Megan appearing to want to do all they can to destroy the monarchy for money. It is up to us the subjects to decide whether we do or don't what a monarchy or a republic not a third rate actress who couldn't make in Hollywood and a very dim Prince.

We post things that build on our prejudices. All of us.

There’s that self awareness again.

So when is the referendum?

Soft power?

Perhaps at one time.

But now - not so much.

This star is slowly waning into oblivion.

I think you’re right. America seems to be losing interest, the Netflix series hasn’t been mentioned on CNN which I read each day, or if it has it hasn’t made the headlines at all. I suppose there’s only so much to say, and with no contact likely from now on, it will burn out for lack of new material.

I read WWM2's post as referring to the whole RF.

Maybe she'll be able to clarify for us.

Yes the whole of the RF.

The queens death will, I think, be seen as the catalyse for the waning of the RF.

If - as Netflix claims - the fake images were not meant to be taken literally does that mean what the ex-Royals say isn't meant to be taken literally either?

I think you'll find that images in the adverts can be symbolic, words in the actual programme are expected to be believed, Grantanow.

Grannygravy13, the news I listened to this morning said one person shouted out about how do you feel about destroying the Royal Family. If that is the case, it is hardly the majority feeling.
