All these anti monarchist diatribes can be summarized in one line. "She is rich, I'm not and it pisses me off".Sorry people, but if the monarchy were abolished today it wouldn't put one brass farthing in your pockets, not now, not tomorrow, not ever.
And I am trying to imagine the thrill of waking up in the morning and thinking "Wow, I'm so happy, yesterday I was a subject but today I am a citizen." I am having difficulty visualizing that thrill.
