WHO ARE WE?
This is not a subreddit limited to the UK or the Commonwealth Realm countries. Monarchism is a form of government that plagues 43 countries, with 26 monarchs.
We want a republic to replace every monarchy, and we are called republicans.

2.1 Don't defend your favourite royal, like Prince Harry or Duchess Meghan. 2.2 Don't defend past, present, or future imperialism. 2.3 Spamming monarchist slogans like "Long live X" or "God Save X" will earn you a ban. 2.4 No bootlicking. No praise of the police or of the military, especially not of the imperial core.
No Personal Attacks or Bigotry. Leftist Unity.

Please read Reddit's Site-wide Rules. 3.2 No flamebaiting and avoid attacking the sub, as a whole. 3.3 This is also a broadly socialist sub.

Newswatch asked BBC news why they didn't cover the Channel 4 Dispatches story on the royals finances but they did give multiple slots to William's environmental prize

So have I got this correct, Andy fucked a trafficked girl, C3 and Will fuck the rest of us?
Plus Phil's overt racism, Liz's covert racism and greed.

Can I ask you, as a European citizen who is very saddened by Brexit, what you think of this petition? Personally, should the great people of Milton and Sydney decide to return to Europe, I would welcome them with open arms.

St William of the Tough Year
Just The Times doing Times shit with the halo, while all the other rags made do with fawning headlines.

Remember that the British royal family have been exposed as being a business rather than public servants. Hence William's strategic new "poor me" headlines as he heads back to the UK, where he will face absolutely zero questions as to why he profits from charities and our public services.

Public service announcement

This is NOT what was reported at the time.
"Kate revealed in March she was having preventative chemotherapy following the discovery of pre-cancerous cells.
In September, she announced she had completed her treatment and said her focus now is on "staying cancer free."
This is pretty insulting to anyone who's had an actual cancer diagnosis. If course, finding pre-cancerous cells is a health scare and I can understand that it's serious, but it's completely misleading to have said she had cancer if she didn't. So, either Sky News have made a dog's dinner if this reporting, or the royals have been twisting the truth again to suit themselves.
Parasites.

All getting a bit predictable

Royal cake!
So the BBC will tell us that William is saving the world whilst in South Africa, the Consort is sick and has taken a break from her hectic work schedule and finished the day with a story about a slice of cake from Queen Elizabeth’s coronation fetching over £2000, but nothing about Charlie’s & Will’s lucrative business deals here, today in the UK. Why’s that then?
