Thoughts on Monarchism?

It's actually unfair on the people expected to become king/queen. They may not really want (or be suitable) to be in Government.

Ultimately they have no legitimacy or power, so they're a bit of an acting role these days.

Also unfair on their relatives, especially the younger siblings of the heir apparent. Harry gets a lot of crap for not wanting to be a working royal. Meghan likewise gets a lot of crap for allegedly pressuring Harry out of the royal family. Once George was born, Harry had only slightly better odds of being the King than I do, which are mathematically insignificant. He's fourth in line behind his nephews and niece. Once George marries and has kids, not only are Harry and his issue pretty much a non-issue in the order of succession, but Archie and Lilibet are out as well.  What incentive does Harry have to take part in the royal family?

The sad thing is they both got treated worse by the British Press AND their own family, more than the actual fucking nonce did. As long as the Royal Family has a nonce palling around in it still benefiting it can go fuck itself, Imho. But even without him, I'm in favour of abolishing the British Royal Family. Can't speak of other royal families.
