I can't think of anything less interesting than the Royal Family. Bunch of wankers.

You are right.These so called "Royals" are just mere humans, no more no less than the average human being on the planet, yet we make a huge much ado about these mere humans.We are always looking for someone or something to praise as higher or more important than we are. Get a life and enjoy your one life that you got.

Six feet under we all are the same....

If we're talking about the British Monarchy, they're just symbolic of tyranny! They tried to take over the world with their Empire. Why would anyone celebrate those kind of people; British, American or otherwise???? I won't bend a knee to anything 'royal'.

Me neither...its a daft idea when you think about it. Their ancestors just had bigger sticks than thee n me. The only thing is in countries I have lived in or visited that don't have Royals, they do seem to recreate these highers eschalons anyway. Just look at Hong Kong Tatler...its horrid. But yeah for me...viva la revolution

I'm British & not a monarchist. Mostly the royals are entitled parasites. That said, our current queen has worked diligently and decently in the job for 65 years without a whiff of corruption, scandal or favouritism. One thing a hereditary head of state has going for it is that there is really no way to rig the succession, which would otherwise go to a political appointee and weaken the separation of powers necessary to hold a government to account.

Off with their heads!

I've never understood it..Esoecially in places where nowadays they are nothing more than figureheads...Really expensive figureheads.

I have always had a problem with praising the memory of the rule of monarchy.

Idk. Legend has it that George Brett never took a shit in his entire life.

We have celebrities and the 1%, both with their own dynasties, so it’s not any different.

Nope. That institution needs to be wiped from humanity.

I don't understand it especially in constitutionally run countries like England. Why on Earth are those guys paying a family to do nothing?

A lot of the Brits feel the same way. However, royal stuff is why the majority of non-Brit tourists visit Briton...they are THE major tourist attaction (read $$$$$).
