' Wrote:But why does there have to be any movement away from a strong monarchy at all? That's what I still don't get. Even what you propose here ("less hardliner," "populist sympathies") sort of deflates our balloon, so to speak. What couldn't the MOD be a hardliner?

Hmmm.
Maybe the MOD and new Fleet Admiral are staunch Royalists, and consequently, behind the scenes, the Crown is still running the show.
