I contend that the role of monarch is filled by a person but the crown is never. The crown is the crown (and I don't mean the piece of headgear!!) Just the way my concepts of these things have been formed. In the past I have enjoyed writing about what might become of all these royal items "come the revolution". Let's assume it will be a peaceful one without bloodshed. The Royal Collection is a definable collection held in trust. I contend it will stand alone and independent and continue along lines similar to museums and such, in the hands of trustees. It performs much like that now with the Queen as trustee. I imagine the heirlooms of the crown and the regalia will be absorbed into the Royal Collection for practical purposes and for their preservation. They are not likely to be allocated to any member of the family. If the revolution is a bloody one then all best [Edit: bets] are off! Edited for typo.
