He's the one who has been groomed to take over 'The Firm', as it's called.. I don't know, my view on them has changed over the years, especially more recently.. I tend to think people are equal (unless they think they're above me in which case they're automatically beneath me!) but there's a hierarchy here, a class system, that still holds this country back I feel..

Well, I don't live there so I don't know all that you do. And, of course, I see your point and agree - all people are equal. But I'm still a traditionalist (and a girl), so there are things about the Monarchy that I like. And, from what I understand, the Queen really doesn't have power and make laws, right?

Oh she has plenty of 'power'.. The Queen (or King back in the day) used to have absolute power but Parliament was introduced to distance the monarch from politics after King Charles 1st got executed..

Basically 'her government' makes laws that are debated and discussed in Parliament and the House of Lords before they're ratified and sent to the Queen to sign into Law.
