But talking about rocks, there are also those who think the Queen is stone-hearted and old-fashioned, a relict from medieval times. They feel that maintaining a Royal Family is a costly indulgence for the tax-payer, especially when there are severe scandals like divorces or Prince Harry’s lapses. So they are not sure if the British political system of a democratic monarchy is still up to date. This is why in 1997 nobody was surprised that Tony Blair won the elections “in a landslide” when he promised that he would modernize British politics. But though the Royal Family completely failed during the crisis following Princess Diana’s death in 1997, he did not take advantage of this situation and got rid of the Royals, but gave advice to the Queen instead to overcome this negative image. This shows that even the most critical opponents of the Royal Family don’t dare to depose of the British monarchy. After all, Britain would not be the same without its Queen.
