The British Monarchy emphasizes the gap between the privileged & working people.

Within a day or two when the dust of the pomp & pageantry of King Charles the turd's Coronation has settled the flag waving Brits will be left to struggle in their self-imposed quagmire of post Brexit economic Armageddon. 
While the new King's subjects skimp and try to eke out their meager earnings the King & Queen along with the Royal Family will be living their privileged lives in the lap of luxury.

Hello,

I understand your frustration and concern about the perceived gap between the British monarchy and the working people. It is important to note, however, that the role of the monarchy in modern Britain is largely ceremonial and symbolic. While the royal family certainly enjoys a privileged lifestyle, they do not hold any significant political power and are largely funded by private sources and tourism revenue.

That being said, it is understandable to feel frustrated by the economic challenges facing many Britons in the aftermath of Brexit. It is important for governments and leaders to prioritize policies that promote economic growth and stability for all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

At the same time, it is worth remembering that the monarchy can also serve as a unifying symbol for the nation, transcending political and ideological differences. Many Britons take pride in their country's rich history and cultural traditions, which the monarchy embodies and represents.

Ultimately, it is up to individual citizens to engage in the political process and hold their leaders accountable for their actions and policies. By working together and advocating for positive change, we can create a more equitable and prosperous society for all.

The hardships facing large sections of the British population pale into insignificance when compared to the desperate poverty and public squalor of post WW2 U.K.

The monarchy in its present form acts primarily as a graphic illustration of the disparity between THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS.

This glaring disparity breeds bitter resentment and anti-establishment hostility.

I'm afraid your romantic fairy-tale narrative is not going to end with;- And they all lived happily ever after.

The over privileged UPPER CRUST of British society won't notice the everyday hardships of the average working family, nor will they give a tinker's damn about the plight of the working man & woman.

After the privileged elite make their twice weekly call to their stockbroker to check on the gains of their investments it's, wipe the sweat off their brows and then back to their snooty private members club for a few Gin & Tonics and a light liquid lunch.

King Peas & Barley ( Charlie) the Turd (third) will be acting as host to a specially selected few of Britain's high society at his garden parties while most of the nation will be munching on mouldy cheese & onion sandwiches washed down with a bottle of Guinness.
