Presentation of the topic

The twenty-first century represents a new beginning for the British Royal Family. Many events have brought much attention to the members of the Royal Family by the public, one of these events being the birth of Prince George. While some state that the public needs to have a good connection with the British monarchy, others argue that the members of the Royal family receive too much attention, which is not to be desired.
