The Monarchy

The institution of the Monarchy will continue as head of state in the U.K.

The Monarchy will be small and will consist of the Queen and her children, Charles and his, William and his, George and his. Other children from their siblings will be included. All other titles will be abolished.

The Monarch will remain the head of the armed forces, but will no longer stay as head of the Church of England better reflecting modern Britain, and the shared values of all religions will continue to be promoted by the Monarch as the Queen has done using Christian C of E values.

The Royal household will put together an advisory group consisting of a majority of non white advisors to provide advice to the institution on how it can lead the way in being a fully multi cultural institution representing all people of the U.K. and the Commonwealth.

The Duchy of Lancaster and Cornwall will be abolished and all land will revert to the British state in trust for time immemorial with the caveat that it’s freehold can never be sold. The land will be run by an independent body on behalf of the state with clear objectives including:

Publishing a clear and open register of what land and property assets it owns.
Provide an income for the Royal Household.
Make a cash surplus payable to the Treasury.
Maintain the highest environmental and land stewardship standards.
Maximise land and water access rights to all British people.
Do not pay any farming subsidies to anyone with a net worth or income of more than a specified amounts of say the top of the 1% bracket, around £80,000 income.
Only support animal farming for small specialised farmers with the highest possible welfare standards.

The relationships within the Commonwealth will be fostered and prioritised irrespective of the financial benefits flowing between the U.K. and the other country and the U.K. will seek to strike and open and free trading block that opens up the U.K. to other markets without barrier irrespective of the cost to U.K. business. Commonwealth countries do not need to to retain the Monarch as their head of state. The Commonwealth will be based on historical connections and our closeness through language and history rather than leader.
