The Royal Family is facing a succession crisis

The Royal Family is facing a succession crisis

Dec 08, 2021 1 min, 3 secs

And that prospect comes at a time when the monarchy is once again under scrutiny: Barbados recently removed the Queen as its head of state and became a republic.

However, the same poll indicated that as long as the Queen wears the crown, 55 per cent supported continuing to recognize her as head of state.

Other polls have indicated even less support for a monarchy.

In one conducted by Ipsos in March, 66 per cent of respondents said the Queen and Royal Family should have no formal role in Canadian society.

There are many in Britain who believe the Queen is the only thing keeping the monarchy together.

More recently, the decision by Prince Harry to flee The Firm, as the Royal Family is known inside Buckingham Palace, didn’t help the worldview of Charles either.

For many, it confirmed the view that the monarchy long ago reached its best-before date.

Every discussion around the notion of Canada severing its ties with the monarchy bumps up against a hard reality: breaking up is hard to do.

I’m sure there are more than a few people, including those whose livelihoods depend on the future existence of the monarchy, who are hoping that Charles’s time as head of the Royal Family is a brief one.
