Dr Ed Owens warns that the Royal Family faces becoming 'redundant' without a major overhaul to make it for for modern Britain.
Overall, 62% of Britons say the UK should continue to have a monarchy, the pollsters said earlier this month. However, this drops to 37% among 18 to 24-year-olds, compared with 80% of the over-65s.
‘We know that since 2008 those generations have been particularly poorly served by British politics because the policies have been very much skewed towards an older generation. Just as we are seeing a decline in support for the monarchy, we can track that over almost directly to a loss in faith in democratic politics among the same age groups.
‘The chances of reconciliation at this moment are far greater between Charles and Harry than between William and Harry.’Dr Owens, who is based in Paris, surveys the royal landscape in his blueprint for future-proofing the monarchy and ensuring it remains at the heart of British life in the 21st Century.
