Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee: Why the Royal Family Continues to Exist?




Albeit the calls to abolish the monarchy, this particular royal family is here to stay for a very long time.

Lost to some is the fact that, beyond the royal status' call for duty, there is genuine love for the family.

Love for family - this is the composite strength of the Royal House of Windsor.





Long in the waiting game to be king, NOTHING in the demeanor of Crown Prince Charles would suggest that he is eager to succeed the throne.

Maligned by his old age and not quite popular with his broken marriage to the People's Princess, Diana, he deserves respect and admiration for staying the course. 

More than being the Queen's next-in-line to the throne, he is first and foremost - his mother's son.

In like manner, Prince William stands by his father amidst calls for him to succeed Queen Elizabeth. NOTHING in his demeanor will suggest that he contemplates bypassing and disrespecting his father in such an outrageous way. Nor will the Queen. 

If anything, this photo suggests his and his wife's - Duchess Catherine, steely determination to usher an uninterrupted succession to the throne. Protecting the Crown Prince from attacks, EVEN from WITHIN the family.

As what the British says, Long Live the Queen - indeed!
