The great nineteenth-century British constitutionalist Walter Bagehot said that the power of the monarchy is based on the mystery and that when light is shed on the institution "the spell is broken." If that is true, the power of the British monarchy will be very weak today for the wedding of Prince William with Kate Middleton.
There is little that is unknown about this celebration. The guest list has been discussed endlessly, the wedding dress has had a few million hits on Google and we know that, after careful study of royal protocol, the happier they kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace before a crowd .
Keep the mystery of an institution as traditional media to a greedy and disrespectful is a challenge. King Juan Carlos was apparently irritated when details of his recent operation came to light, but that was as a mere footnote on page compared with the stream of comments that Queen Elizabeth has had to endure for years.
Perhaps movies like The Queen or King's speech representations are sympathetic to the monarchy. Much less have been the photos, gossip and wiretaps have undermined the dignity of royalty. Who can forget the filtering of the recorded conversation in which Prince Charles told his then lover Camilla felt like one of her tampons? Despite all this, the UK shows no signs of wanting to become a republic.
According to a recent poll, 6 out of 10 Britons believe the country is better off with a monarchy. Thomas Paine-bright and eloquent critic of sexism, racism, slavery and the monarchy of the eighteenth century was right when he said that a hereditary ruler has no more sense than a doctor hereditary.
But the monarchy has changed. Has gone from being an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, and it is a politically marginal. When last year's general election failed to produce a clear result, it was said that textbooks of constitutional law specified that the queen should arbitrate.
In fact, no political leader consulted Buckingham Palace. Then they said to the beloved monarch, which already has 85 years what they would do. And Prince Charles, who has 63 years will not become head of state until most of the people of his generation is enjoying a pleasant and well-deserved retirement.
It is unlikely to be more influential in British political life as her mother. So the dreaded light beams Bagehot now become a brilliant glow. But no matter, many Brits are going to enjoy and the monarchy will remain in place. Forget the recession and the weakness of public finances. It's showtime!
