A Voyage Round the Monarchy Andrew Miller , a history student at Stirling
University, has been watching the ceaseless pageant of royal television appearances and press headlines for as long as he can remember - but he's begun to wonder if there's something seriously wrong at the heart of it.
In tonight's Open Space, he argues that however the royal family are served up, it's always with the assumption that Britain needs a monarchy.
But there are voices who say we don't. So if royal coverge was like ordinary coverage, what would the balancing opinions be?
