An interesting way to see the Monarchy is to look at the world today. There is still a strongly defined sense of belonging to most British who or their ancestors have emigrated to other countries such as USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and so on over last centuries. They are still aware of their identity as in British born native. They still respect the Monarchy as their Queen and King and return to patronize the Royal Family as well as their place or origin at least once in their lives.
Indeed, tourism has grown over decades. This is due to the colour of tradition of the monarchy and also the function for symbolic of national unity and allegiance. This is part of our heritage in such it has become a tourist attraction.
The Fame of the British Monarchy
In terms of publicity, famous could be a good word to use in this situation, almost all news agencies in the world always publish news relating to the Royal family for the sake of their magazine and also newspaper sale volume. The cases are Charity and fund raising has also been a big heat for the Royal Family, who are constantly being invited to join Charity organisations such as the Red-Cross, AMS and so on. All of which have helped a lot not in getting more, but also have improved the living of the poor in the World, the victims in the wars and those people living in the less economic developing countries. Moreover, the Royal family has performed so many Royal visits to other countries and helped improving the relations amongst different countries in term of both politics and economic.
Because of the Fame of the Royal Family, the impact given to the country by the unsuccessful marriage of Prince Charles, Prince Andrew and Princess Anne has deeply affected the most people in Britain. The death of Princess Diana in 1997 did arise the heat topic of why Britain should have keep the Monarchy. In fact, the daily life of the Royal Family is affecting not only people in Britain but also British all over the World.
Because of the fame of our Royal Family, it has become a very important asset to our country. Should we give up this valuable asset when there is any minor thing goes wrong?
A Future British Republic or Constitutional Monarchy
Some constitutional monarchies still survive, primarily as symbols of national unity. Among the most enduing are those of Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
As far as the Royals are concerned in their power to reform the role model allowing British Prime Minister known as Tony Blair the leader of Labour Party to concentrate on most of the important tasks. The Monarch’s leadership should really be maintained as they have driven a positive force such as the Church of England in our United Kingdom, while UK is still keeping its parliamentary system of government.
Apparently, the Royal family’s annual budget comes from the democratic vote provides a kind of burden to our Government. You might decide to say what are the contributions of the Royal Family to the country. Well, people as in us being as the general public sees the royal family as they see themselves. We are flawed human beings, the Royals aren’t special after all. Nonetheless, the Monarchy is constitutional Monarchy and the system of the Great Britain. The Monarchy is our asset, which is providing sense of belonging to all British in the UK and overseas. It is an invaluable asset that helps indirectly to many poor, war victims, and health impaired people all over the World.
However, What would happen if the United Kingdom were to consider the idea of abolishing our monarchy in the future? Then we must look at the nation as a whole for more practical reasons in terms of who would be the head of state. Would probably be the Prime Minister and if you take a look at other countries such as France, Russia, China, Spain, Germany and so on – they were once a monarchy. Nowadays, they are succeeding in some ways or another holding their elected presidents sharing their thoughts in power. Which is the perfect system in the World?
Conclusion
In conclusion, I think it is clear as you can see why the monarchy will survive in the near future; it was due to the head of state Queen Elizabeth occupying her position through an accident of birth. Therefore, if there is no monarchy for the future of UK it will gradually become a republic, for British living in the other countries it may not be necessary to return to Britain as they lose their sense of belonging. However, it is still virtually impossible to come to one definite conclusion, it might have been the fact that she is still one great unspoken as the future of the Queen herself. It is absurd nowadays for a monarch to rule her death; she is over 70 years old with her fundamental attitudes and her long living service for Britain. As for the same reason, it would be cruel to expect that she will rise to the challenge of forging a thoroughly modern monarchy. Would the fame of the Royal family drive the influence to the positive direction for the country is another crucial subject for the future discussing of this topic. Would the successor of Queen Elizabeth II perform more than competent in future? Should Great Britain give up his very valuable asset due to minor bad influence given to the country by the Royal family in future? Therefore, it reminds me of the so-called ‘ Iron Lady’ Margaret Hilda Thatcher, the old PM used to attempt to modernize Britain and to domineer the multicultural society and to enshrine the status of nation as a whole.
