Summary: <p>Another listener question for your co-hosts Stuart and William to discuss, and todays is this one from Maria, Catalonia, Spain:</p> <p>“How do you think King Charles 3rd will evolve the UK monarchy? It's been said the monarchy will be slimmed down, what does that mean? The people are struggling in so many ways, how will the new King show the monarchy and royal family understand and can relate to the people, and how the people can relate to the monarchy? Or will it all be lip service to show and prove royalty still has a place in modern society, and effectively just a ruse by the system to save itself?”</p> <p>William thinks we should abolish the monarchy, do you agree with him?</p> <p>That said, Charles 3rd is clearly evolving the role in a masculine way obviously, but you can see that he can’t be as open as he used to be, due to the protocol of the position. So, how much can he really evolve the monarchy with these restrictions?</p> <p>Charles is finding it hard to bite his tongue, it isn’t the natural way, he’s used to speaking his mind. The monarchy has 100s of years of history behind it, so, even if the monarchy were slimmed down, they’d still be out there doing what they do.</p> <p>Further, how can the monarchy really understand and relate to people in the general public? How can we as people in the general public relate to the monarchy? How can you relate to someone above you and how can you relate to someone below you?</p> <p>The royal family are just another family, it’s just that they’re in the public, so does the royal family have a place in modern society? The royal family is motivated to stay relevant so we don’t revolt and get rid of them. Why do we follow each other and traditions like sheep? Isn’t life much more interesting when we don’t always follow traditions?</p> <p>What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?
