dailystar.co.ukLondon an independent city-state says the Royal Family would have to move out of Buckingham Palace if vision comes true.Hamish Stewart, from an advocacy group called London Independence, is envisaging a London that is free from the rest of the UK.However, as an independent London, he says there will be no room for the monarchy as he tells them to “move to one of their castles outside of the city”.Hamish refers to the Brexit referendum, in which the majority of Londoners voted for the UK to stay in the EU, as one of the main catalysts around the idea of the capital becoming independent.He says an Independent London would be a “republic with a written constitution”, which would mean no more Royal Family at the helm.The advocate also suggests that the royals could put their land into a trust as they leave London.
