This visit will strengthen our ties.
I always find it interesting that those who are pushing for a Republic, if given the opportunity to meet and greet the Royal Family, fall all over themselves. It seems false to me somehow.
I am a proud monarchist and happy to say it loudly.
I know the republican movement think they are on a winner, however, the silent majority do not think so.
