Who should win in game of thrones?

A NEW poll has found that 63% of Brits do not want Prince Charles to become king and would instead rather the crown skipped straight to William. We asked our Email Jury who they want to see on the throne. And do they think the monarchy has any real relevance today?

I feel sorry for Charles, who has waited all his life as “the understudy”. But I do think it makes more sense for William to take the reins. Susan Ireland, Kendal.

I think William and Kate would be better. If the monarchy is to survive it needs fresh blood, not fuddy-duddy Charles. Lorraine Anderson, Edinburgh.

Charles should be king. It is the true order that the eldest son succeeds to the throne. Young people are too keen to fix things even though they are not broken. James G. Plenderleith, Edinburgh.

The monarchy has no relevance and should be abolished. We’re told the royals bring in millions through tourism. France doesn’t have a monarchy and they get far more tourists than we do. David J. Foulis, Liverpool.

I’m not sure if William is mature enough to be king, although he would get a lot of support. But how would he feel if his father was side-lined? It would surely divide the family. Joan Fordyce, Forfar.

I would rather see William as king. Charles is rather old and his marriage to Camilla is unpopular with many. Liz Kelly, Glasgow.

I’m no lover of Charles, but he is first in line for the throne. What’s next – put up your favourites and have a vote? James Brown, West Lothian.

Harry would be the best but William will do. Anyone except Charles. Steven Richardson, Highlands

We desperately need the pomp of the monarchy. It brings in billions in tourism. Elizabeth O’ Regan, Lincoln.

I’d rather neither on the throne. The monarchy reinforces a dated image of Britain and the younger royals are nothing more than tabloid celebrities. Stephen Williams, Middlesex.

The monarchy helps give Britain a positive international reputation. This is badly needed, especially since Brexit, when we face becoming a very insignificant little country. Ian Roxburgh, East Ayrshire.
