Personally, I would do away with royalty everywhere. At least you can vote morons out of office (cf Trump). So the fact it involves the "Windsors" is irrelevant.

There's a pandemic on in case people hadn't noticed. For this minor story to have usurped that in the news agenda is plainly a bigger crime than some tomfoolery with bank statements.

I suspect a lot of the anti-BBC arguments in this thread are promulgated by those who have no idea how bad commercial broadcasters are in other countries. Casual viewing also suggests to me that C4, ITV and even Sky are better for having the BBC as a compeitior. I suspect if you live in the US, as I do, you would know exactly what I mean.
