This isn’t about comparing one group to another. Yes the House of Lords is also out of place in a ‘democratic’ country and the civil service has its own problems, but this coronation charade really needs to kick off a proper conversation about the royal family’s position. He doesn’t need a coronation to use the platform he has.

I suspect he will not be able to stay silent, as his mother did, on many issues. Sadly seems to care more than the current government! Without his platform he would be ignored. That is not, however, a good argument for keeping the monarchy but be careful what you wish for and perhaps start by reforming The House of Lords and Civil Service – what should their roles be in 21st century Britain?
