The Booker Prize winner said: “I am puzzled by the popularity of monarchism as a system.

“I don’t want to think that people are born slaves and actually enjoy inequality.

“In a republic, I might breathe easier, maybe I can arrange it. I hope to return to my family story and become an Irish citizen.”

She added: “Our planned relocation has been blocked by Covid, but although I like that I live on the seaside of a western country now, I feel it necessary to pack up and become a European again.”

“My parents were born in the UK, but the generation that shaped me was the generation before that, and I realized that I belonged to an Irish family,” she said. “We are northerners, working class and Catholics. For me, the British are Protestants and southerners, and are owned by richer people.”

She called the United Kingdom “a man-made, unstable building”, and she added: “It is not sacred, or even ancient. As a child, I didn’t know anything about the history of the rest of these islands.”
