Why even British grass was in favour: •.. this sense of history goes right down to the grass roots of the country.' Representatives of the left were not omitted from this monarchist orgy.

Unlike Feather, MICHAEL FOOT didn't think the monarchy cheap enough.

I think the whole palace rigmarole should be transformed [presumably into a new palace rigmarole] and the expenditure cut.' ORIGINALITY Perish the thought !

Former left fire-eater ERIC HEFFER had to admit that in his youth he had thought the monarchy should be abolished Robert at the earliest possible opportunity. Wisdom has overtaken him since.

Hefter now thinks, with startling orginality, that the monarchy should 'take the same democratic approach as they do in Sweden and the Nordic countries, where the monarchy are very much figureheads and nothing else.

"The film which was done on the Royal Family proved one thing - that the Royal Family are a human group of people (sIc) like anyone else, with ordinary problems, and the mystique was destroyed at that moment.
