Arguing about the monarchy
Article Abstract:
A television debate between republicans and monarchists in the UK has little real meaning. Although polls taken during the show indicated that two thirds of the British people support the royal family, such polls are flawed. Any plans to dissolve the monarchy should be discussed in parliament, not on television.

The people's monarchy
Article Abstract:
The funeral of Princess Diana, and the address by her brother Earl Spencer, led some to speculate that the monarchy would 'never be the same,' but such people have little sense of history. In the final analysis, the monarchy will remain as long as it is popular with the people.

Mucking with monarchy
Article Abstract:
Public opinion of the British monarchy is at its lowest point ever, and the movement in favor of abolishing the monarchy is gaining strength. The royal family can only hope that its well publicized problems are over so their public image can begin to recover.
