It annoys me William reminds people he is a future king and I’m like okay so what are you going to do about it? Continue to  behind the media and firm? Also what’s up with royals attending conferences? What does listening do that benefits the country? I understand they don’t have power but in my opinion they have been blessed with a platform to reach a bigger audience so do something tangible about it. You are right the taxpayers really do support their lavish lifestyles except Monaco since that’s private wealth. |

Prince Philip just entered the hospital and I think this might be the end for him. I think HM is seeing her entire former grip unravel and the system itself can't be fixed since all this is happening because of the bad behavior of her family. If Philip goes, HM won't be far behind and I am certain that it'll all go downhill very fast. I think 2021 will be a turning point, a point of no return and it will not be good for the reigning royals of Europe. I do not think that there will ever really be any chance of these royals actually getting back on any real track. No one has any energy for their antics anymore and it's not like anyone can afford anything anymore, much less millions of Euros' worth of luxury for these titled nitwits.
He's in his 100th year...he doesn't come from relations who were particularly long-lived (with a few exceptions). It would be a shame he went out on this note, what with the antics of Andrew, the Cambridges, and to a lesser extent, the Sussexes. He's the mainstay for HM and his loss would leave her basically on her own. I think he deserves better than this - he was born in a time of strife/revolution and he may die with strife hanging over his family. Though he was never saint, in terms of monarchy it's not the best time, yeah. His loss would bring very, very tough times for RF. |

No, he wasn't - and at least he never claimed to be one, too, like some of the other ones.  I really feel that things. are. gonna. happen. We called it...we have been calling it for years.  |

Because HM will lose her main and only support. There is no way that HM could survive the blow and there is no way that the BRF is capable of growing up and pulling themselves together. The BRF is like the Romanovs or Bourbons before the Revolution, completely out of control. Philip used to keep them in line for HM, but regrettably that iron approach has stunted the maturity of the other royals and despite their age, so many of them are badly emotionally immature. I mean really, this is something that is going to collapse and there is no way that HM is even listened to anymore. Charles will press for either more power or for HM to support Camilla being crowned and there is no way that anyone else in that family is of any help.

Yikes! Then the countdown begins the monarchy seems to be dwindling anyways. |

I think that the RF as institution is a whole mess mow. Phil was a bit kinda glue for it and his opinion still carries weight. He made a lot of desicions and now we see results. I am sure it won't be long before Andrew and Sarah re-marry after his loss. Ed will be the new DoE. A lot of things will change, we'll see a lot of mess because previosly Phil kept it far from public and finally it all will affect and I am not sure RF can easily bare it. |

It’s sure going to be rough times. I think their “popularity” will decrease significantly. |

With Covid, the unbelievable sick grossness of Andrew, and the jealous bullying behavior of the Cambridges toward the Sussexes, the popularity of this evil family is waning at a rapid rate.

The Windsors are a revolting and despicable lot. There is nothing to admire at all.

I think a lot of politicians and diplomats are no longer going to indulge their royals. There is NO WAY that anyone is going to have any tolerance for either their idiocy or their airs/graces, or their asinine conferences or silly condescension. No one will want to have to remind them that they are not supposed to be involved in politics or diplomacy and I daresay that there will be a lot of frustration and impatience. If this pandemic ever ends (and I do not trust Fauci that there will ever be herd immunity) then everyone will be very short tempered and on edge and there will be a TON of people on psychotherapy (including the psychotherapists themselves) and there will be a TON of memorials and a TON of people needing to grieve and reach out and do what it takes to heal and to an extent, heal from the mass chaos that this pandemic has wrought. Then there will be a need to live very quietly and be very contemplative and there will be a desperate need for people to have breakdowns and rebuild along more realistic lines and no one will have energy for more royal trouble.
There will be nonstop talks about building a new, more workable economy, and there will be talks about how to recover from the shell-shock of what has happened. Then there will be the hard fact that there will be questions about whether or not hundreds of millions of taxpayer money should go to the coffers/Swiss accounts of royals who are of no help whatsoever in times of trouble. No one will want to listen to speeches by Queen Letizia or do video conferences with Queen Maxima or be condescended to by Crown Princess Victoria. There is no way that anyone is going to WANT to indulge William's delusions of regal grandeur or let Kate indulge in being a childish ingenue (at middle age). I do not think that any of them get it that there is absolutely no place for royals to condescend ANYONE at all to be blunt. There is no place for them in the decision making process. I do not believe that any of them comprehend that playtime at being better by virtue of birthright is over and will never come back. This pandemic is not some little blip that will end up fading out and then they can keep playing on taxpayer dime and condescend the people who pay their bills. Mark my words, there is no way that anyone is going to be in the mood for a patronizing speech by an asinine royal.

I think so too. I do not think it's entirely Infanta Cristina or Juan Carlos, but something else. I do not like Letizia (despite having never met her) and Felipe looks horrifically haggard for someone his age. There is no logic in having someone like Letizia for a Queen and it is clear that politicians themselves will not have patience or energy to indulge the airs of importance that these royals throw in everyone's faces.

I feel bad because Leonor seems like a great Queen in the making but I’m 100% on the public side if they don’t want a monarchy. |

^Same here. It seems to me Leonor is a great kid. But I also believe even it won't be monarchy Leonor can find herself in public service.

Even if there is no monarchy I think she could be a great ambassador for Spain or do UN work. That would be great but as far as a monarchy for Spain, I don’t see it in the future. |

I think the rest of the royal families in Europe will have to revamp if they want to stay there. Only one who loves their monarchy is Denmark.
