I have nothing against the monarchy. I don't like Charles. I will be upset If I have to have him for my head of state. That is a problem with monarchy you don't get to kick out the bad ones.

I read somewhere that the Queens wealth come from rental of much valuable property in London I've also read that the english people spend a lot of money on the upkeep of symbols like royal yachts and palaces.

As for subject or citizen, Canadian citizens are nominal subjects of the Queen, but she can't give us any orders, so who cares??
