I'm certain Tony Sir Tony Blair would have run for president, as would Boris Johnson.

Edward V111 was allegedly a Nazi sympathiser.
And, in the 1960s I believe there was talk of a plot to overthrow Harold Wilson's govt and instal Mountbatten as head of a new govt.

Re: is it time for a Republic
There was an establishment plot to overthrow Harold Wilson, and install the idiot Mountbatten.
A few rogue MI6 operatives believed (wrongly), that Wilson was a communist sympathiser, because he flew to the Soviet Union a number of times.
He had business interests there, but it didn't stop advanced plans to use the military to overthrow Wilson.
The BBC made a good drama based on the episode, called A Very British Coup
Well worth watching if you can locate it
