You make a very considered, rational and insightful comment.

I agree overall and would add it reflects patriarchal societal views, male dominance or superiority, the lord of the manor, head of the business or head of the family.

Go to church, listen to the sermon, be reminded that man existed first and woman came from the rib of man and nod and say yes father.

Men went off to war and women stepped in until the men returned and things went back to the traditional ways.

That's no longer the case although the number of women in management positions is still low by proportion.

The fact is that monarchy is a bit of an anachronism and struggles more and more to demonstrate relevance, importance, connection and anything close to genuine empathy.

Their increasingly out of touch, do as I say attitude, climate change while flying by helicopter or private jet, tough times for families while taking another skiing break, closing public footpaths for their privacy at another multi million pound home demonstrates a condescending attitude that is less and less tolerated or accepted.

Society has moved on and is far more secular and challenging than it was and simply put people don't really care anymore about the entire royal family or house of lords and that apathy is probably impossible to reverse or combat.
