I think as ridiculous as the interview was on all counts, the long-term consequence will be the eventual collapse of the monarchy.

The British Empire. Long gone.

The monarchy, extinction coming our way at some point, sooner now rather than later.

The British tabloids will pick up on it and never let go, until the monarchy is indeed gone.

I’m with Mark Twain on royalty:

“I urged that kings were dangerous. He said, then have cats.

He was sure that a royal family of cats would answer every purpose.

They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughable vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house...

The worship of royalty being founded in unreason, these graceful and harmless cats would easily become as sacred as any other royalties, and indeed more so,...”

From “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court”.
