homer said: Heck no!. In my eyes, the British are backwards. What kind of civilized people exalt one family above others? Royalty is BS. The Queen is BS. I'd say we should end their reign once and for all, but the Prince guy seems to be legitimately a good guy. He served in the military after all, and he has done good charity work over the world. Maybe it's time for the Queen to get out and give England a King. Even then, royalty is still BS. Also, their accent is awful and they have poor taste in sports just like every other European nation. I want to distinguish myself as far away from them pesky Europeans while still acknowledging that we are still friends and we all have the same goal(contain China and Russia). |
I don't think the Royal Family actually still reigns Britain...

Of course they still reign (if they didn't then they wouldn't be the Royal family), but they don't really have much say in the running of the country or anything. As I said earlier they are basically just a tourist trap now. They bring in quite a bit of money to the country... I believe it is more than they are paid through taxes etc, so ultimately they are a profitable venture, and without them the money would go to the government, who aren't exactly great at solving problems without massive overhead. Having said that though I'm sure the Royals could function just as well on much less income.
