They neeed high quality royals or slim down. Nobody is going to try and get rid of the Queen, but once she is gone, a lot of commonwealth states will just wave bye bye.
Bea and Eugenie are in the "okayish" range, but not brilliant royals that you desperately need them. Plus seeing them you are always reminded of mom and dad ...
I always love it when people say something like 'a lot of commonwealth state will just wave bye bye' when the Queen dies. When she came to the throne the vast majority of commonwealth countries had her as their Head of State. During her reign they have become independent and republics (some at the same time and others have taken a two step process to get to that state). There are now only 15 left and I am not even convinced that all of them will be monarchies when The Queen dies. Barbados and Jamaica both have republican governments but the majority of the population, according to the polls still favour the Queen as Head of State. If the polls change then they will become republics regardless of whether the Queen is still the Queen or not.
The Commonwealth will continue to thrive with new countries, with no links to the former British empire, applying to join (and being allowed to do so).
