@JuliaHB1 But it's what the job IS! What talent do you mean? They don't have to juggle, or sing. They just have to BE the heir / monarch. -

@JuliaHB1 I think we're talking at cross purposes. Forget I spoke. As you were! -

@JuliaHB1@VictoriaCoren Most people's favourite countries are constitutional monarchies - Sweden, Holland, Denmark, ANZ, Canada, Japan.
