Except for the Queen, the royals are becoming a standing joke.

Perhaps time is running out for this dynasty, and it will be toppled before it undoes itself through inbreeding, the way some dynasties elsewhere have done.

By the way, I have noticed that for most of England's history, its dynasties were foreign in origin. The Anglo-Saxons were German, the Normans were Vikings turned into Frenchmen, the Plantagenets were fullblooded French, the Tudors were Welsh, the Stuarts were Scots, William III was Dutch, and the Hanoverians and Saxe-Coburg-Gothas were German again. For the current royal family, George V was the first king who was more English than anything else. I'll venture that the next time there is a dynastic change in London, it will be Ireland's turn to have someone on the throne.

No, it will be abolished eventually by a Labor government in the interests of smashing tradition and expunging all vestiges of the old England.
