A constitutional monarchy can be more democratic than a republic. In Brazil, we had the monarchy from 1808 to 1889. The republic was imposed by a coup that overthrew our emperor D. Pedro II, our greatest emperor, respected and remembered until today. He was an example of Monarch, well prepared for his duties since childhood, honest and respected freedom of the press. This period of stability ended with the republic that brought us political instability, dictatorships and enormous corruption. So, if the Monarchy is a dream for us in Brazil today, the republic is a nightmare.
It's just mind boggling that these people are sitting around even having this conversation. It's irrelevant what money is involved, it's fundamentally wrong and sends the wrong message on every level.
Interesting to see, or should I say, not surprising to see Al Jazeera focusing only on the finances to keep a European Monarch, instead of any of the well known Middle Eastern Monarch. ;-)
It's time for England to become a Republic. The monarchy are so different from the man in the street. They could be from another world. They are from another world. However good they are they are not really relevant.
Far across the seas in the land of the windmills. The little Dutch girl with the spotting shoes. Many grew up with the 'Dutch Baby' milk. Today, in Indonesia(Pulau Seribu) many Dutch could speak Bahasa Indonesia with the influence of Dutch music, Bengawan Solo. The economist for Singapore is a Dutch, too. Hence, Philips Electronic Factory exists in Singapore till today. Always remember a monarchy is important as a 'political stabiliser'. This is what happened in Thailand, when two political opponents practically fight and quarrel everyday. They were summoned to the Royal Court for counselling. They crawled to the feet of King Bumibol. No scoldings but just a simple royal question, "Does Thailand belong to only both of you?" This a lesson for everyone!
The monarchy in Netherlands is very popular , and is fact that the Kingdoms , [European], are the best economies in the World, and the economy flourish and tourism and ties come easy Actually King Willem Alexander and Queen MAXIMA are the most popular now in the hole World.
2019 now and we've still got Lizzy mark two as head of state! 93, on the throne now for 67 - SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS!!! And counting. Take a leaf out of Queen B's book, yet mage.
Lot's of people are against Monarchies he says. That explains why a lot of former Monarchies want to introduce the crown back in to their Nation two of which are some of the largest powers in the world. In Russia Valdimir Putin has said he would like to reintroduce the Tsarist Romaniv line for Cultural purposes, and in Germany the people also would like to see their Monarchy restored Cultural purposes, infact in germany the Dutch King is extremely popular because the Dutch crown is largely German as well, the prior two Husbands of the Queens were both Germans. And the Origional line of the Dutch crown comes from Nassau and old German Royal line. I would say the concept of Monarchy is extremely popular in former Monarchies and I don't see much people wanting to abolish the Monarchy in todays Constitutional and Parliamentary Monarchies, infact a lot have an approval rating of 60%+ In some cases even 70 to 90%.
What the republic guy fails to conviently mention is Britain has a constitutional monarchy.... We elect our government anyway. His argument is therefore a waste of time and invalid.
How do you feel about the UK's voiced desire to arm the "rebel" groups in Syria? That's one I've wondered how the people think recently. In general, in Canada, we are for staying about as far away from Syria as possible. We are certainly not Assad fans but we don't care for the foreign jihadist groups either. I wouldn't want to be responsible for putting a gun or a bullet in any hands on either side of that.
The English crown is definitely not as popular with its subject's then the Dutch crown is with its people!When the Dutch King go's anywhere His Majesty takes a lot of businesses and business man/woman and consultants with him,so does Her Majesty the Queen!No door stays locked for them and therefore it's open to there antourage too,comprising of the fore-mentioned of course.The Dutch Crown makes more money then we as a State/Kingdom put in and they are visible at many occasions and very informal at those occasions,getting close to the people,this can definitely not be said about the English Crown or the British Royal House it's all very brief and mostly done from a distance preferably a balcony,not to mention the English Crown cost more then it generates,throw into that situation the fact that it's an unpopular Royal House with way to many scandals:Lady Di,Queen shown to be indifferent after Lady Di death,Prince Harry in a Nazi uniform at a dress party,Prince Andrew getting divorced,Prince Charles getting Divorced,Prince Charles cheating on his wife,Ex wife of Prince Andrew asking for backhanders from journalist,Prince Andrew involved with criminals,Prince Andrew possibly involved in rape of multiple teen girls,etc,etc!If they want to safe there Royal House better bypass Prince Charles as King and go straight for his son William(I think that's were the English Queen's preference lay as well)especially because the now wife of Prince Charles,Kamilla had an ancestor who was a mistress of an English King as well,there you go another scandal,they can't seem to help themselves!But I don't know how that Kingdom will look like in 20 years from now,seeing the Scottish want to leave and by then probably will,...how long before the Welsh do the same and Ireland is already gone!Well all i can say as a Dutchman is:Long Live His Mayesty King Willem-Alexander van Oranje-Nassau,Long Live The House of Oranje-Nassau!
We Republicans countries only have problems when electing our representatives! All that pass by the office represents a further weight in society. Best left to one family spending. You can not see, but we, the republican countries, we are fascinated by the news of the monarchs. Are reasons including to know a country, its tradition yes. Did you interested in visiting us because of our system of government or representatives?

Perhaps you opted for the wrong republic.
I agrees with your view. Does anybody give me an example where a republic uplift a poor country and make it rich and powerful ?
The assertion that monarchies are cost-effective or cheaper than republics is false.
In Revolutionary France you could lose your head by calling anyone but 'citizen. Her Majesty, your royal highness, are we still live the Middle Ages?
It's just mind boggling that these people are sitting around even having this conversation. It's irrelevant what money is involved, it's fundamentally wrong and sends the wrong message on every level.
stfu

The working class people are the ones who should take the vote.
6:56 How did you calculate this ? This number seems false. French people would have run down the streets protesting and rioting this had been true.
Monarchy is so pointless in these times
yes same as EU they are pointless and not relevant without us they are probably part of russia.
No, shush.
Not in a modern civilized society.
As if France is civilized for taking a grip of African countries money
Al Jazeera hmmm, how about all the mid eastern royal families
Saudi royal family is held up by US money...
Qatar, where Aljazeera born, is actually an absolute monarchy , without any democracy LOL
There is no widespread debate in Middle East about dissolution of monarchy.
@@stealthattack2209 there is no free press in mid East lol
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Louis XVI lost his head, and rightly so.

Oh boy, these supportive comments of Prince Harry really haven't aged well at all. People ignored and excused his behaviour for far too long.
Ofcourse they are, It's clearly the superior system as long as the monarch is a responsible leader.
And if he's not you can boot him off the throne and let his heir be in his stead, or a regent if the heir is too young still but that is unlikely.
Unbelievably stupid arguments. "Economically, the dictatorship makes sense. A presidency would be more expensive."
Will a British Anti-monarchist make a model American Citizen ?
No they are a traitor with out any loyalty
Get rid of the nonsense royal. We don’t need them at all.
This comes from someone who lives in a monarchy?
They need to be slaughtered like tsar Nicholas the second.
The king is the mastermind behind 6th October.

No the monarchy is not relevant Time they were gone.
2019 now and we've still got Lizzy mark two as head of state! 93, on the throne now for 67 - SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS!!! And counting. Take a leaf out of Queen B's book, yet mage.
The Queen is the head of the Common-Wealth, it's through her and our common monarch where we centralize our commonality and relations.
Show Elizabeth LAST EMPEROR OF CHINA movie 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha these people think that if they booted the queen tourists wouldn’t come
Let us match Prince Harry to the great King Henry IV or V.
The ideology of the Jacobins will rise again. There were no titles in Jacobin France, merely citizen.

We elect our government anyway. His argument is therefore a waste of time and invalid.
But in my country 80% of my generation what to president to replace the king.
How is the the monarchy of the Netherlands sooooo expensive when it is a fraction of the size of the UK and Spain

Is Qatar a monarchy and does he own this channel.?
Ours don't own the press.
We Republicans countries only have problems when electing our representatives! All that pass by the office represents a further weight in society. Best left to one family spending. You can not see, but we, the republican countries, we are fascinated by the news of the monarchs. Are reasons including to know a country, its tradition yes.

Mauricio Massucati Negri yes absolutely
Man: "We need to get rid of the UK Royals."
King Charles: FInd that man, and off with his head." :D lol!!
Man found dead in his home alone. Suspicion dies while sipping tea.
