It appears that more right wing/capitalist governing bodies are more beholden to the Royal ties
Yes, exactly this. I don’t know if anything will change but I can only see their popularity dwindling with the death of the Queen. I don’t think the others will manage to have quite the pull that she had and I think part of that was her longevity and connection to days gone by (and the war, the right wingers love all that). -

The Queen was very much a product of her time and royal protocol could now be considered archaic and outdated. It is tradition only and some traditions do need to die.
The Royals have also been strong endorsers of the military, where capitalist interests/gains have thrived. Things do need to change and relic attitudes along with it.

The wealthier countries like Canada and Australia…
How much do those countries contribute to the monarchy?
You Brits should give it up simply because you can't afford it. That will be apparent when the UK freezes this winter.

Perhaps you need to ask how much does the monarchy contribute to the elitists in countries other than the UK and what benefit does British Royalty gain from being figure heads in Commonwealth countries?
I don’t live in the UK.

I think so. I'd rather have some say in who is the head of state, thank you very much. Of course it won't happen yet, because we aren't at that stage, but I suspect Charles will be an unpopular king. I think she will be our last queen. If you're a republican like I am you should check out the Republic Campaign.

See this is where it gets really difficult because the idea of having Boris Johnson or Liz Truss as the head of state is just unbearable. But I do believe that we should get a say in who it is. -

But no matter who it is, at least we get the leaders we deserve, rather than just chance, as it is at the moment.

Yes but the whole voting system is ****ed where we can't get rid of the tories because the majority vote is split between Labour, Lib Dem, Green, SNP, and most people didn't vote for the Conservatives but they got the biggest vote of all so then we get a leader that a minority voted for (even more so now) so we never really get a say anyway

True, Britain's ****ed, it's stuck in the past, I don't blame you for leaving. The Royals are clamouring to stay relevant though, with commonwealth countries leaving left and right, realising that the legacy of the monarchy is slavery and empire. They only get less popular as time goes on, with the youth largely indifferent.
