The monarchy functions as a source of stability and continuity that benefits the country despite not having executive power.

“it does have an underlying force of stability continuity. Um it's why uh it it allows Britain, it helps Britain sort of punch above its weight diplomatically.”

Cleo Watson argues that the monarchy should be preserved because it provides essential continuity, stability, and cultural value to the British state.

“We have to think about what we're letting go. Obviously, there's the continuity of the British state as we know it. There's the future of the Commonwealth and the Crown Dependencies and the Church of England.”

Sebastian Milbank argues that the monarchy should be kept as it is a historically successful and stable political institution that aligns with human nature.

“So far from being an anacronism, this form of government has survived because it is the most adaptable to change and the most adapted to human nature.”

Katie Nicholl asserts that the monarchy is facing a serious constitutional crisis that is damaging its standing with the younger generation.

“But when you hear constitutional historians and experts al likening this to the abdication in terms of its the constitutional crisis the monarchy is facing. Yes of course it is going to be a it is a worrying time for them.”

The British monarchy is currently in a state of existential crisis and faces significant damage from the actions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

“what you have is an extraordinary situation where two people who have caused intense damage to the reputation of the royal family and the institution of the monarchy are now running a kind of renegade rival royal family, engaging in rival talks and going to places like Australia.”

Bianca Nobilo suggests the monarchy is in a precarious position because its legitimacy depends on public trust, which is being eroded by current scandals.

“And when you have an institution that exists solely based on public trust, it's always about net positive, net negative contribution. And what you've all been saying paints a picture where that is getting less clear.”

Alex O'Connor argues that the monarchy should be abolished because it is an anti-democratic institution that prioritizes heredity over the will of the people.

“This family who without their celebrated and taxf funded pomp and pageantry are nothing more than thinly disguised celebrity claim a prerogative to rule over you and me by right of blood.”

Tanya Gold argues that the monarchy should be abolished because the system is cruel and dehumanizing to the royal family members themselves.

“Monarchy is a drug, you see, for us and for them. For us, it is a recreational drug. For them, it is professional. Full-time trauma cascades down generations.”
