Will you be pledging allegiance to the Royal Family?

[Stive Pesley]

Each to their own of course, but it feels like one more thing designed to try and divide us.

Just curious as to the split. I know we've had various Royal threads on here and it's clear that a lot of posters have no problem with the Monarchy as an institution, but maybe the idea of being asked to pledge some weird archaic oath of servile allegiance might make a few people thing "hang on a minute..."?

I, GboroRam, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Rams, according to football law. So help me god.

There. Fixed it.

[Ram-Alf]

As one of the Regicides had the same surname as myself I'd like to think we were related...Off with his head.

Swear allegiance my Arse

Welby’s idea apparently - could the bloke be any more out of touch?…. I’m not a royalist or anti-royal really (prefer to ignore them most of the time), so no I won’t be swearing - or at least not swearing allegiance - though I’m may struggle not to swear at Harry and Andy - a right pair of “total ossers”

[cstand]

Ridiculous idea as long as the Royal Family remain impartial and play a role in bringing vital income into the country through tourism and trade then I will support them.

l pledge allegiance to no one.

 

 

Better go my wife might see my last comment 😀

I thought it was a joke when I first saw this.

Apparently, they want a chorus of a 'million voices'. 

Out of a population of 68 million. They don't even think all the dotty old biddies who dribble over the royal family are going to pledge.

[RadioactiveWaste]

The only pledge in my life is an air freshener.

"The king and his heirs" so that's the Royal Family right? 

Prince Andrew is 8th in line to the throne so it's totally normal to pledge allegiance to him. To say otherwise would be total nonce sense

I'm also a no, although I'm a little surprised at the results of this poll, given that support for the monarchy as a whole is usually over 50% nationally. Maybe Stive is correct in his assertion that lots of people perhaps don't understand that living under a monarchy is an act of fealty by its very nature.

[Comrade 86]

I'll be offering the usual salutations...

It’s a no from me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[TomBustler1884]

The  only members of the Royals who should get the level of privelige and support they do is the monarch, the heir and their offspring.

So Charles, William and Williams kids. The rest should all be working without public support unless they're on Universal Credit.

I dont mind having a Royal Family but it's the extended family and the spongers that do my head in.

And this nonsense about them wanting everyone to join on a National Volunteer programme to support food kitchens. Fine in itself. Not so much when it's being encouraged by a publically-funded billionaire. They're so tone deaf it's painful.

Not until the heirs become King/Queen.

No - I'm ambivalent about the Monarchy and did wonder if people would accept Charlie on account of his past form. The only thing that stops me being an abolitionist is the prospect of Ant & Dec being voted in as Joint-Presidents for life in a TV vote.
