The Monarch is dead, long live the Monarch.
He is not as popular. The 'black spider' (handwriting) letters were thought to be lobbying on his part but largely turned out to not be lobbying, just interest in lesser-favoured options. We might be better off if he passed it to William straight away, but I don't think that him being like he is now will cause any republican surge.
