I think the tide is slowly turning (m)...
... after Prince George was born last year, Republic (the official campaign to scrap the monarchy) had its biggest surge in membership. I think many people were probably sickened at the immorality that one baby can be born into such privilege, from birthright alone, when 1/3 of babies born in the UK in the present times are born into poverty.Then when it was announced that the cost of refurbishing the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge's apartment at Kensington Palace had more than doubled, there was another spike in membership.It will take a long time to get there, it won't happen in any of our lifetimes, but will it happen one day.***Words have meaning and names have power.***http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/110214

The problem with ending the monarchy imo is the paparazzi. The royals could adjust to the daily grind, but the media will never leave them alone.
