Anti-monarchy campaigners are launching a crowd funding campaign to try and get greater access to the royal archives.

The video discusses the secrecy surrounding the royal archives, which contain sensitive political documents and personal records of past monarchs. Campaigners are pushing for transparency, arguing that the public has a right to access these records to better understand the monarchy. The archives are currently exempt from Freedom of Information requests, unlike MI5, which releases non-sensitive documents regularly. The debate centers on whether royal documents should be treated like other political papers and made available after 30 years. Privacy and tradition are cited as reasons for maintaining the current level of secrecy.
