Abstract:
After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the world stood still for the incredible reign and the effects she left Britain with. However, as the new monarch, Prince Charles the Prince of Wales - now King Charles III - stepped in for his mother’s role, many questions which remained in public conversations for decades started to surface once again and gained momentum both within the United Kingdom and the whole world. Many of such questions begin with simply what is the role of monarchy in this increasingly modernising world? These kinds of questions lead to deeper discussions on whether the funds from the public are really worth what the monarchy can really give back to the society and if further restrictions on the monarchy should be implemented. With more scandals involving the issues of religion, gender inclusivity, and social inequality, questions were raised and many people sought more restrictions on the monarchy on its authority and its access to public funds. The researchers in this project have performed likert scale surveys and created mixed methods to create statistics from randomly selected individuals who hold British nationality online. The main objective of this survey and this research is to find out the general idea of the British public on the restrictions to be imposed on the monarchy, its effect on British society and if their government should prioritise this issue to be addressed on the same urgency as that of other sectors of the country.
