BREXIT was won on the back of an optimistic vision for global Britain, freed from the shackles of the EU to trade across the world and bring in riches from global trade.
But in recent years we've fallen behind other countries that put considerable oomph into selling themselves abroad.
Globally-minded Brexiteers argued that leaving the EU shouldn't mean looking inwards, but looking outwards to the rest of the world.
To do this we need back our Global Champions who export around the world. We need to back British business in the same way other countries back their producers to sell to the world.
A recent report on global trade criticised the British government for not doing as much as other countries. We badly need to up our game, but luckily we have an ace card to play our Royal Family.
As Royal courtiers plot an uncertain future for the Firm they should consider getting our Royals out there making money for Great Britain Plc - there is nothing grubby about turning a profit and making money.
If we're serious about going for growth, the Royal Family needs to do its bit. When the time comes we should expect a new King to lead the charge in selling Britain.
