We Live in Feudal Times

The Financial Times newspaper has shown implicit support for the British monarchy. In an editorial advising Andrew Windsor, who is both a “prince” and a “duke” in the country’s official class hierarchy, to resign as Britain’s trade ambassador the FT warned that the increasing criticism that he has received “threatens to embarrass the royal family”.

The financial newspaper quotes, seemingly with approval, Walter Bagehot’s belief that the feudal institution should be “reverenced”. It suggested that Mr. Windsor’s behaviour was undermining reverence for the Windsor clan.
