->''I know the royal family from the distance and they seemed like flawed people. That's literally the kindest way I could possibly put it...The royal family--the whole selling point is that it doesn't change. That was kind of the point of it over the centuries that, you know, times come and go, governments rise and fall, but the royal family will always be there, unyielding, the stiff upper lip doesn't wobble. So that's their selling point. As years go by, you realize that not changing is not entirely a good thing, because the times might be changing around you and you are refusing to evolve. So, I don't think they will change because I don't think they have the capacity to, but they obviously should.''
