May I point out the single most obvious flaw in Peter Mann's republican diatribe (letter, 5 February)?

If we had been a republic at the beginning of the Second World War we would have been stuck with President Chamberlain - and lost! The true value of constitutional monarchy is that it makes bad political leaders instantly disposable.
