The Today Debate - The future of the monarchy

Today

Available for 30 days

It is 100 years since Queen Elizabeth II was born. King Charles, her son, has paid tribute to his "darling mama" and said: "Her near-century was one of remarkable change and yet, through each passing decade, through every transformation, she remained constant, steadfast and wholly devoted to the people she served.” Four years on from Queen Elizabeth's death, Anna Foster chairs a debate on the future of monarchy with an expert panel.
