In an interview with Newsweek magazine he says they are carrying out their duties not for themselves but for the greater good of the people.
He's quoted as saying: "Is there any one of the Royal Family who wants to be king or queen? I don't think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time."
Canon Ann Easter told Premier's News Hour she certainly doesn't believe he's suggesting that any one of them wants the Monarchy to fall however:
"I think every job has its downside and it must be difficult to get used to those bits, particularly if the down side to your particular calling is watching whatever it is that you do."
She adds that they're under constant pressure and endless scrutiny:
"Being watched all the time, your clothes, your demeanour, having your children criticised, sometimes, and sometimes quite harshly. Imagine if people were like that all the time to us?"
Despite that, she believes that the Royal Family are committed to their roles and a sense of duty:
"I think what he meant was nobody would choose to (do that job) but they do so because of a sense of vocation and dedication."
Easter, who says she marvelled at the Queen's stoicism yesterday by attending the State Opening of Parliament while her 96 year old husband Pricne Phillip was in hospital, says the Monarchy is a major asset to the UK:
"They bring in a huge amount of revenue for the country as a global tourist attraction with people loving the pomp and pageantry."
