My grandfather and two great aunts each received one from Queen Elizabeth. And from sundry politicians. Isn't it strange no one photographs the ones from politicians? We had a queue to photograph the one from the Queen.

Anon: This is because politicians come and go, but British royalty lingers for decades and you're helpless against it.

Peter, if we wanted to change our constitution, we would have. We don't.

We had a referendum to become a republic in 1999 and it was quite easily defeated.

I do wonder what would happen if we did it again today though. I think Charles has been more popular than people really expected, but we have a whole generation (maybe even two) that have come through since the last referendum.

Individual freedom and corporate freedom are incompatible. You have corporate freedom.

See the suggestion in the comments here. Make it happen.
