CALL me ill-informed – you won’t be the first! – but I’m danged if I knew there was such a thing as the British Monarchist Society. It only flashed on the radar this week with its latest campaign to ensure that every person and organisation which applied should be given a portrait of Her Maj to hang in their home/office.
They’ve also got a neat new take on how to stop folk whining about the Sovereign Support Grant. Just cut out the treasury altogether, and let The Royals hoover up the income from the Crown Estates. Any “leftover” profit can be forwarded to the Exchequer.
