"but as a Canadian I demand that the monarchy expire with the death of the prescent queen as ruler of Canada"

Though Sandy surely that has nothing to do with England or any other Britih people? Whether Canada remains a monarchy or not is for Canadians to decide amongst themselves. No-one is forcing Canada to remain a monarchy. It is not about demanding anything more about persuading your fellow Canadians.

I must admit that I'm not a monarchist anyway so can't get fully in my head why British people would support the constitution. The idea that Canadians and Aussies etc support a foreign family as being their head of state is even harder to get to grips with :-)

The only country that breaks news here every now and again over its swing to a more republican leaning is Australia and to tell you the truth I think to most British people, even monarchists, it is of little consequence whether the monarch remains head of state of Australia or not. I don't think it would change peoples feelings towards that country one bit.

For the name I would have thought that Edward Louis Victor Ifor Stephen, or King ELVIS for short.

Sandy. As a resident of the UK I would like to see the monarchy dissolved in as short a time as possible.

I've just seen a fleeting glimpse of a headline saying that the brand new royal sprog will inherit £650,000,000. Good God! He's only just got here and he's already got more money than most of us could earn in a lifetime.

BTW, has anyone spotted the flaw in naming him George Alexander Louis? That's right. The initial letters read G-A-L. Great bit of naming that for our supposedly future king.
