This is a proposal for the admission of republican principles into the narrow, national debate. The author examines the Royals as a national fetish that encourages servile attitudes on the one hand - and snobbish ones on the other. Taking care to delineate and discredit certain vulgar and pseudo-republican claims, Hitchins goes on to call for constitutional and political reform that the Royal phenomenon currently impedes.
