Thank you to The Guardian for pointing out the obvious: that the monarchy is no longer relevant.
Yes, "Whether a hereditary head of state is required today ought to be considered...."
The monarchy is a relic of the day when colonialism was okay, racism was legal, and equality was heretical.
The radicals in Britain's North American colony who declared their independence also sowed seeds that would eventually dissolve the monarchy:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal....
If all humans are created equal, no one has a birth right to rule over others.
The king and queen of England do not rule by divine right or any other right except social consent. Parliament and the public have the responsibility to decide whether retaining the monarchy serves a useful purpose.
By their racism against Meghan and her children, the royals have proven that they are no longer useful.
Like France, England needs to remove the monarchy as a relic of history.
