    The royal family is the original Coronation Street - a long-running soap opera with the occasional real coronation thrown in. Its members have become celebrities, like upmarket versions of film stars and footballers. But they have also become a byword for arrogance, entitlement, hypocrisy and indifference to the gigantic amount of public money wasted by them.
    The monarchy itself is an important part of our constitution with considerable influence on the kind of nation we are. Yet you will struggle to find much in the way of proper journalism that examines the monarchy in the way that their position and influence merit. Instead, we are fed a constant diet of sickeningly obsequious coverage which reports their activities with breathless and uncritical awe.
    In this book, former government minister Norman Baker argues that the British public deserves better than this puerile diet. … And What Do You Do? is a hard-hitting analysis of the royal family, exposing its extravagant use of public money and the highly dubious behaviour of some among its ranks, whilst being critical of the knee-jerk sycophancy shown by the press and politicians. Baker also considers the wider role the royals play in society, including the link with House of Lords reform, and the constitutional position of the monarch, which is important given Prince Charles’s present and intended approach.

    I bought and read this excellent book. I also gave a copy to my monarch loving nephew. He changed his tack! Why hasn't this book been more widely publicised?

    Great performance by David Vickery. He narrates Norman Baker's witty and revealing book with schadenfreude.

    “Where do you come from,” she said, looking down at the wheel chair driven inhabitants in which I was equally clinging to.

      Well Norman Baker is a serious politician committed to the idea of liberal democracy not fairytales so perhaps that’s why it isn’t suiting your taste. I’m loving this, makes me want to buy the book.
