I don't really understand how this whole monarchy thing is really big news. The monarch has mostly a ceremonial role and would see the door as soon it's trying to project power over the so called realms including the home country(i.e UK).

It's good to hear it at the end of the news but definitly not frontpage news.

It is ceremonial according to the PR department of the royal family.

In practise, Charles tried to influence government ministers, and Cameron seems to think there should be less transparency over this:
