'Remarkably, only a minuscule 6% of Scots say they are very interested in the royal family'
OPPONENTS of constitutional change often assert that the views of Scots are little different from those elsewhere on this island. The facts suggest otherwise, and this was confirmed in a recent survey.
There was also a clear difference of opinion between Scots and others when asked this question: “Thinking about the role they play for the country, and money they receive from the sovereign grant, do you think the royal family are good or bad value for money?”Remarkably, only a minuscule 6% of Scots say they are very interested in the royal family. While 69% say they are “not at all interested “in them. The poorest rating across all four countries.
But does it matter much that Scots are unenthusiastic about royal flummery compared to their neighbours? Yes, it does. Big time.The King underpins the British constitution. The monarch, not the prime minister, is the head of state. The King is also head of the Church of England. An odd position, some might think, for someone who claims to embrace the idea of a multi-faith society. At his coronation, the new king will be draped in the trappings of the British state with the occasional nod to the traditions elsewhere.So, it is of enormous significance that Scots reject the royals. In a very real sense, they are also rejecting Britain.
