The late Christopher Hitchens was a robust basher of the British monarchy. Family dysfunction, deviant personalities, money grubbing, and loyalty to the elite are innate flaws of monarchy. Elizabeth maintained "The Firm's" public profile well, but she was sympathetic to the upper crust Tory wet point of view. She disliked Thatcher, a plebian grocer's daughter who rose by merit and hard work and drew Britain back from the brink.

There are persistent, quiet allegations that Elizabeth and the monarchy profited from lucrative private investment deals with Muslim nations and businessmen. Covertly, with Elizabeth's acquiescence, much of the British establishment was compromised and opened the country to mass immigration and Islamist subversion.

Will Farage be able to win and save Britain? I hope so, but he will not find the Muslim sympathetic King Charles an ally.

The Royal Family is decadent/corrupt but they used to serve as an effective check on the Parliament years (centuries?) ago.
