Description
Does the British monarchy still have a place in today's society? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit cast light on institutional racism, Prince Andrew's alleged sexual abuse highlighted troubling attitudes towards gender and power, while the abolition of the monarchy in Barbados accentuated its relationship to colonialism.
But what is the monarchy actually for? Does it benefit the UK, or cause more harm than good? The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the dawn of the Carolean age make these questions more pertinent than ever.
Breaking longstanding myths around the monarchy, Clancy demystifies and evaluates the monarchy in What Is the Monarchy For?, showing why republicanism is nothing to be scared of.
