Although it appears odd and unworkable, in practice it is a neat arrangement that somewhat limits the degree of tyranny that can arise in the land.
That said: We have been watching the Royal Family get rolled over so easily by a certain actress on the make. It would only be natural for one to have misgivings about the resilience of the institution if such a crisis can be provoked so readily.
Well said JB8. I do not know if a certain actress is on the make or not but certainly she does not seem to me to have embraced the British way of life or the family she married into with any great enthusiasm. I think also she should have been at her husband's side this last week or so, instead of which she has scuttled off to Canada again as if the family matters are nothing to do with her.
Canada is a place with not a very good climate, a rather boring environment and spectacular scenery. I am surprised that someone like Meghan would want to settle there.
