#1 Once the old broad and Charlie are out of the way, I hope King William V and Prince Harry take some of her billions and invest in a Caribbean based mercenary army for England, loyal only to the King.

Kept out of England except for dire emergency, this Caledfwlch (Excalibur) Regiment could guarantee that if England's military is so emaciated as to be unable to defend their country, that neither a civil rebellion or a "repugnant invasion" by Brussels could conquer England.

Even back in the 1970s, it was speculated that if things got utterly awful in England with a socialist government, that the Queen could quickly visit Canada and name a "Lord High Protector", like Cromwell, who would dissolve parliament then take care of business.

The monarch would have to leave the country to do this, or the government could force them to return power to them. But after a year or two in Canada, Britain would be considerably better off.
