How far detached from the real world he is? A few weeks living on a rough housing estate surviving on minimum benefit could be enlightening to him, instead of rubbing shoulders in effete and insular circles. I wonder if he's chums with the Rees-Mogg thing?
Of course he can - it's called abdication. The last monarch to abdicate was Edward VIII so he could marry Mrs Simpson. George VI took his place.Quote:
