    I do find that argument odd, because you can just as easily cite negative examples of incredibly bad heads of state who were undemocratically selected. But of course, they can never be voted out.
    I agree. But also, as I have said, why is it assumed that we have to replace the Monarchy with something else?

    Ironically , the flying saucer hat Kate wore ( which I loved ) was designed by Philip Treacy . the same guy who designed the " pretzel " hat"

    Marginally better than the toilet seat that Andrew's daughter wore to William's wedding.
    She later sold it for £81,000 and gave the money to charity.

    Rebranded for quick sale. It was a toilet seat, not a pretzel!

    Yes
    @pansyface ,  I imagine those kind of hats have a hidden elastic band which goes under your hair at neck level. My beautiful wedding hat was a smaller but similar shape and that had a thin elastic band.

    Why do we need a head of state?
    Surely the prime/first minister is the head of state?
