Else, discard the custom altogether =================================== To only use the above statement and not direct my response to anyone in particular, I dread to think that this should be the attitude of many in the immediate future. I find so many people are becoming quite blasé about any sign of symbolic majesty - to the point where it is suggested on occasion to just be rid of it. A sad sad day it shall be when the institution of monarchy is no longer a spectacle to behold, and only serves as a pen pushing, audience holding constitutional responsibility. A total lack luster affair. To some it may seem rather unimportant, but when monarchy is as much about historic symbolism as it is dynastic governance then I re-affirm that even the small observances such as an ermine robe on the day of a monarch's inauguration has it's part to play.
