In these days of tabolid journalism and Google Page Ranking manipulation , I would suggest that if anyone deserves to carry on with the title 'Peoples Princess" it should be that Colleen girl , Wayne Rooneys fiance , from what I see she is more in touch with the 'common folk' than Diana ever was , doesn't seem to have a decietful bone in her body , no guile or ulterior motives, no pretensions, you get what you see.....a good looking well fed healthy lass , who seems to have her head screwed on right .......
The long discussion on Tuesday night presented many valid points pro and against monarchy.
I have found this site which presents both sides equally, and should provide interesting reading to all who participated Royal Jubbly: Monarchy or Republic?

An interesting site indeed. Canada is a monarchy and most of the country ... I would say Quebec is different for good historical, ethnic and cultural reasons .... are quite content with our system. We are a strong, rich, and free democratic country and having Elizabeth II as our monarch does not interfere with any of that. Canadian First Nations people are particularly in favor of the monarchy, and loyal to the crown. I personally do not see any problem with having a head of state who is above and outside politics. The way things are going in the States, with Bush succeeding Bush, and maybe Clinton, Clinton; and with the Kennedy's still powerful in politics, it seems like heredity might be catching on there.
I think I must have read a different newspaper to everyone else - but don't ask me which one it was because it was just whichever one happened to be left in the shop when I got there. What I read said that Camilla hadn't wanted to attend the memorial service but that it was Charles insisting that she should go.
I think if she did attend and if anyone did anything nasty to her then they would be showing disrespect to Diana by disturbing a memorial service for her and showing disrespect to her sons who chose to invite Camilla.
The Queen, it said, was in favour of her attending but eventually supported her decision not to attend.
As for Harry. There was a photo of him in the paper and he doesn't half look like Charles and Prince Philip these days. There's that same eyes and nose.
I agree with you Willow, it is just that some people will use anything to make out that Diana was putting it around. The fact that the lads have different coloured hair means Charles can't be the father of them both!!!!!
