I think that a lot of people are missing the point here. Not knowing any of the Royal Family personally, I have no axe to grind with any of them. My objection is to the institution of the monarchy and all that that entails in terms of cost and having their "Good Works" thrust down our throats on most days through a very pro royal media.
I know that many ask what would the alternative be. Well, in my view, provided that we have the right to vote in or out our leaders at reasonable intervals, it really does not matter to me.
