Britain's Top Monarchist: The British Royals' No.1 Fan.

Anita Atkinson is Britain's most fanatical monarchist. What is a Monarchist? In the UK, monarchists, or royalists, are in favour of maintaining British monarchy. Many believe that, during her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II and the British royal family provided stability to the country and, for a millions of Brits, the monarchy has shaped British identity.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy, so the monarch rules alongside an elected government. I once interviewed Graham Smith, CEO of republic, who is leading the charge to abolish Britain's monarchy and replace it with a republic. But I wanted to speak to someone on the other side of the aisle, to learn why they think the monarchy is best for Britain. At her Durham home, Anita once held the world record for the largest personal collection of royal memorabilia. She explained why she is so passionate about the royal family, and why she is a monarchist.
