Graham Smith, chief executive officer of the anti-monarchy campaign Republic, wrote this in the Daily Express after football fans booed Prince William at the FA Cup final at the weekend: “[There’s] good reason to boo royals, because they represent something that a lot of people object to. Not Britain, but elitism, unearned wealth, limits on democracy and hereditary privilege… We live in a country that leaves many destitute, while rewarding one family with hundreds of millions of pounds, two dozen luxury homes and a fleet of private jets, helicopters and even their own train. And why? For no reason than that their ancestors stole power and land from everyone else.”
