Comment on A symbol of British democracy, "The Queen shows us who isn't boss"parent

Comments

In the list of "things actively harmful to the UK", bad behaviour and lobbying by multinational companies and the financial services industry is fairly near the top, while all the Royals except Charles are smart enough to stay away from political issues most of the time.

An actual dispute about Royal Assent on a piece of popular legislation would end in favour of Parliament fairly quickly.

Depends on your perspective I guess.

You know about the corporate lobbying. I don't think any of us have the slightest idea what influence the Royals have over the wonks, men in grey suits and senior members of the Government.
