Now I am no Royalist but I do understand the Queen is in a real good position to get a grasp of many things as She can see and hear things I dont have the opportunity to.

No she's not ... The current (lack of) proper dialogue between the two sides is ridiculous - both seem only interested in perpetuating one of two myths 1. All 'leavers' are old, white, poorly educated, racist thickos or 2. All 'remainers' are either self-serving metropolitan elitists or terrorist-

Sorry mikey,but it amused me that we've never had a "proper" civil war just a series of battles that left about 80-85,000 men dead in battle and probably as many dead from related related disease and illness.Thats not counting the execution of a king and the setting up of a totally new form of government,still it wasn't really a civil war was it,
Paddy....its been a very long time since I was in school but history was one of my special subjects and I seem to recall that the period in question was indeed referred to as the "English Civil War"
Even that wasn't terribly accurate as it affected Wales quite considerably as well as England.
It had a significant effect on our future British history though....beheading a crowned Monarch was a pretty big affair back then....something we haven't seen again since.
I have always maintained that a full civil war will never happen in a country like ours, as it did France, Russia and other places. Regicide is a nasty thing, after all.
Anyway, our customs would prevent a full-scale civil war from ever being successful....we would always be breaking for Tea, or to dress for dinner, or something similar.

“Wouldn't it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn't have Tea?”
Our very Britishness has saved us from all that undignified rioting in the street, and all those tiresome barricades !

Well there you go. The OP exhibits a few logical fallacies. It starts off telling us they are no Royalist, but then uses an appeal to that Royal authority's alleged opinion to back their position. Presumably if the Queen held the opposite alleged opinion then her opinion would count for little ...
Perhaps Prince William, unlike his 90 year old grandmother, is a Remainer. Would that make a difference? Not to me. The Royals are hardly representative of the people. The unelected (or hardly elected) European superstate takes power from their unelected Monarchy, so they have a bit of a vested interest in the question ...

and British Governments have taken all executive power from the monarchy, so their loss isn't one of personal power, and their views, like yours or mine, are based on preference, i.e. whether Britain is ruled from within or from without.
