The British monarchy could be on its “last legs” by 2030, a historian has suggested.
Dr Anna Whitelock, a reader in early modern history at Royal Holloway in London, said support for the monarchy was linked to the Queen and not the institution itself.
Important questions about the relevance of the monarchy in modern society have been constrained out of respect for Elizabeth II’s long reign, she said.
“All of those questions about ‘What the hell do we want this kind of unelected family (for)? What does that represent in Britain today?’, all these profound questions have been held in check because of the Queen,” she said.
