That is a radical and absurd ideia. I wish my country (Brazil) went back to monarchy so that we could get reconnected to our history. British people have so much to be proud of their Crown.

Giving people status and prestige based on their skill and merit rather than their birth is a radical and absurd idea?

Who in England could have the status and prestige, that the Royal family does, based on their skill and merit??  There is no way to measure that. Status and prestige have been passed down to family members  in all segments of any society. Why should it be different with the Royal family?
