This is a time where the monarch can and should apply mild pressure. That’s kind of the benefit of a monarchy, they have the long term interest at heart and can (used sparingly) knock people into place

The monarchs continued legitimacy and global reach is only sustained through a lack of domestic political involvement.

That's the claim, I'm saying is bullocks. There are monarch's who've been asked to return and there are monarchs (such as Norway) who have a very high approval rating.

Assisting in fixing the whole Brexit thing would be amazingly good for them politically.

Wouldn't that only aggravate republicans?

Note: Republican means something very different in the UK than in the US.
