If the monarchy goes, it will be no great loss. About the only thing Charles could do to save it would be to announce that he would personally pay the extra fuel prices out of Crown funds. Not sure they'd let him do that, though, since most of the current governing party- and the pathetic, hollowed-out, now-right wing remnants of what used to be its opposition, the Labour Party, would allow the population to be shielded from the financial ruin the unjustified %500 fuel bill increase on all but the wealthiest of them.
