The Real Value of BRITAIN'S ROYAL FAMILY - T C F Prittie - June-July 1981

T C F Prittie

Is The British Monarchy a ridiculous, "old-fashioned" institution that simply refuses to die? Some few Britons have looked upon this Monarchy as "a royal soap opera" - so much useless pomp and ceremonial nonsense, so much "Royal flummery." They view the Monarchy as leftover Imperial trappings as an expensive drain on the British taxpayer. Others insist the British Royal Family plays an important and vital, if unenviable and (at times) thankless, part in Britain's stability in this modern, 20th century space age. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
