Here’s to Charles, the future king of Brexit Britain
BREXIT was won on the back of an optimistic vision for global Britain, freed from the shackles of the EU to trade across the world and bring in riches from global trade. But in recent years we’ve fallen behind other countries that put considerable oomph into selling themselves abroad.
Globally-minded Brexiteers argued that leaving the EU shouldn’t mean looking inwards, but looking outwards to the rest of the world.
To do this we need back our Global Champions who export around the world.we need to back British business in the same way other countries back their producers to sell to the world.
A recent report on global trade criticised the British government for not doing as much as other countries.we badly need to up our game, but luckily we have an ace card to play – our Royal Family.
As Royal courtiers plot an uncertain future for the Firm they should consider getting our Royals out there making money for Great Britain Plc – there is nothing grubby about turning a profit and making money.
If we’re serious about going for growth, the Royal Family needs to do its bit.when the time comes we should expect a new King to lead the charge in selling Britain.
King Charles should be the Brexit King and embrace the role fully, rather than peddling environmentalism and criticising government policy from the throne.
It’s an obvious solution to the long-term role of the Royal Family.
Critics point to the money spent on palace upkeep and security, but if they are bringing in huge sums of money then these concerns will soon disappear.
No one turns down an invite from the Palace.
It is becoming painfully obvious that the days of Royal tours, and shaking hands with grateful foreigners is coming to an abrupt end.
Recent tours have been a disaster, something not lost on Palace courtiers who are now rethinking the role of British Royals overseas.
Deference is long gone and with it, the expectation that any
nation rolling out the red carpet will simply smile and curtsy as our Royals glide through their country.
Aides to Prince Charles have already said the new King will review the use of royal palaces.
Why not turn one of these regal piles into a dedicated space for promoting UK trade abroad?
When the time comes the new King should set up a King’s Business Council at St James’s Palace.
Just like the Commonwealth that has been so successful over the years, this new global trading body would use the soft convening power of the British monarchy to champion British trade and investment overseas.
Let’s put added oomph into efforts to boost British trade abroad in the way only Britain can.
The Government has confirmed that a new national flagship will be built to promote trade across the world. This vessel, misleadingly described as a “new Royal yacht” is intended to replace HMY Britannia which was shamefully de-commissioned in 1997.
Ben Wallace and officials at the Ministry of Defence have been told to get on and get this new vessel built. A suitably enthusiastic government press release tells us the ship “will be distinct from that
of any previous national flagship, reflecting the UK’S new status as an independent trading nation and helping us to seize the opportunities that status presents”. Absolutely right, that’s the spirit! Alongside a new global trading role for Prince Charles, the new national flagship should allow the British Royal Family to host global investors anywhere in the world.
The new government should ensure that any design for this new ship should be spectacular, making an invitation to attend a function on board the most desirable invitation in the world. Now is no time to be timid, make Britain proud.
The future of the monarchy is about cold hard cash...we need to see them bringing contracts to Blighty
ITWAS Charles who set up the Prince’s Trust to give a boost to young people starting their own businesses. If we don’t direct our Royals to bring in cash and jobs to Britain they will be side-tracked by the latest woke cause or worthy endeavour.
The future of the monarchy is about cold hard cash and we need to see them selling Britain and bringing big contracts to Blighty.
The British government should wheel out our new Brexit King to make the most of new opportunities to sell Britain and a new found freedom to trade around the globe.
