GB News presenter Colin Brazier has urged Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge to relocate to Scotland in a bid to shore up support for the British Crown. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently embarked on a royal tour north of the border. However, Mr Brazier insisted a more permanent presence by the royal couple was needed in order to help "blunt the blade of separatism," and secure the future of the Royal Family.

       Mr Brazier told GB News: "Part of the sovereign’s Scottish problem is the way she sounds.

       "Her ancestry may be Scottish, but for a new breed of nationalist, accent can seem like a hallmark of authenticity.

       "She can’t change the way she speaks, nor can William.

       "He went to school in Eton not Easterhouse. But there are other ways to show your love of country. By living there, for instance."

       He continued: "William did study as a student at St Andrew's University it is where he met his future wife and our future Queen Kate.

       "And after a recent tour to Scotland by the couple there were reports in the papers suggesting that they might be rolled out north of the border as a sort of secret weapon to blunt the blade of separatism.

       "But occasional visits won't wash, a few weeks in Balmoral over the Summer won't convince waiving Scottish royalists that the institution of monarchy is as committed to Aberdeenshire has it is to Ascot.

       "William and Kate and their beautiful children should move and live and work in Scotland otherwise it may be that other William, William Wallace that gets his wish after all."

       The GB presenter went on to debate the demographic challenge facing the monarchy amid a drop in support among young people.

       "The Queen, famously, once said she had to be seen to be believed," noted Mr Brazier.

       "But there are different ways of being seen.

       "Harry and Meghan seem to think the occasional spectacular TV interview, or Netflix series, or internet webinar will do it and certainly, in a vast country like America, reaching an audience in person is hard to do."

       He added: "But in Britain it’s feasible. A YouGov study in 2017 found that the Queen, over the course of her long reign, had been seen by 20 million Britons.

       "Twenty million subjects who see her and then tell their family and friends all about it. That 20 million undergoes a compounding effect because, when you meet the world’s most famous woman, you want to tell people about it.

       "It’s surprisingly hard work, the walkabout. In 2019 Prince Charles alone did 521 public engagements. It involves a lot of smiling and listening. The Sussexes want to tell stories, not hear them.

       "They might reason better one interview with the Queen of American TV, than dozens of functions with another Lord Lieutenant. But on our small island, seeing can still mean believing. For me, better the Windsor walkabout than the Sussex woke-about any day."
