The Daily Mail today took it upon themselves to publish an article detailing the garments worn by the Duchess of Cambridge at the Remembrance Day ceremony.

I've never identified closely to the Royal family. For a long time I never took much more than a passing interest in the affairs of the Royals - and I find that many others share the same disinterest. The Royalists of our time tend to be  female, and either high society socialites or nouveau riche wannabes. But this article immediately drew my attention and for no good reason.

We've long been aware of how the cult of celebrity that now reigns supreme over popular cultural life - the media has replaced heroic idols with reality TV personalities, like our friends off Big Brother - the host of the Weakest Link(if she is still around) - or the bloke that does the weather forecast. People through a process of conditioning and the resulting total saturation in a fairytale, liberal utopian world; filled with STDs, aborted foetuses and paedophiles aplenty. What I had never noticed before is how deeply ingrained, that staunch bastion of traditional British virtue and manner, the Royal Family, has been in the whole charade propagated by the media outlets. They've been totally amalgamated into the whole showbiz, gossip column, bull-shit parade. The article is a stereotypical piece, the exemplification of the shit the press wheels out every day - "But there was plenty of room to make a fashion statement" - I mean, really, what the hell goes through a Woman's mind when you write that and why aren't the Royals kicking a shit-storm up about it? I know if someone wrote an article on what I was wearing at a sombre event like Armistice Sunday I would kick-off.

I know little, why people get such a buzz off reading about what frock Kate is wearing and what hat Camilla is wearing - why tabloids and broadsheets alike spend fuck loads on journalist parasites to spy on the movement of these pampered princesses' that have never done an honest days labour and never accomplished anything worthwhile. Indeed my greatest criticism of the monarchy and the rest of the aristocracy is that they serve no purpose other than to serve as trimmings at any major national occasion - Remembrance Day for instance.

I would have a more sympathetic view towards those who follow the monarchy - who seem to resemble toffs clinging forlornly to the last vestige of Britain's Imperial past - and the monarchy itself, if it at least embodied the values the values and virtues that made this country great: courage, honour, loyalty. The Royals show none of these; courage, they lacked when refusing to face up to the career politicians in Westminster began selling us out to the European Union and giving away our countries Common Wealth to the big-business monopolies. They lacked honour when Charles married Camila and turned the other cheek when our forces were sent into the third-world hell holes of Iraq and Afghanistan. They lacked loyalty to one another when they succumb to playing the media game. To cap it all of they've shown not just a deficit in the virtues necessary to rule and a failure to acknowledge age-old duty but they also seem to think themselves entitled to privilege and respect; riches and luxury - whilst contributing nothing to the national good, other than, more column inches in the tabloid press.

Get In There SON!

This leads to bigger questions over the role of the monarchy - it is tradition - something unique to the British political system - a 1000 year-old institution, in its current form. That is an Integral part of what I myself stand for and what Integralism stands for - tradition and heritage. But when you have Queen Elizabeth keeping schtum over the Great Betrayal to Brussels and Strasbourg. Prince Harry doing the business with any bird going - the Duke of Edinburgh making a general nuisance of himself. Coupled with the Royals' inability to perform a real constitutional function over than act as patron and figurehead - giving approval and legitimacy to treasonous policy.

There are many patriots out there who feel the Royal family to be nothing short of sacrosanct; this is a negative notion, and would be potentially harmful if that mindset was implemented when in power. When the monarchy as it stands has been debased by the media and lost the respect and inviolable position it once commanded. When we take power the Royal family will be given an ultimatum: either get your act together - restore your sense of honour, dignity and duty; restore the respect of the masses; restore respect for the ancient institutions. Otherwise, expect radical change in the constitutional framework of the UK - with the current Royal family replaced and regal status of the monarchy resumed by the introduction of new blood, as part of the renaissance of the British Nation.

Remember - this is a just soverign ruler - this the soverign ruler of yesteryear.
