As an ex-UK atheist, I am wholly against the monarchy, and I dispute any claim that they are purely ceremonial or don't have powers. They absolutely do, and while they still have powers, Britain operates under a premise that some people are born with a right to rule over the rest of the population, rather than being chosen by that population. That is, in my opinion, a dangerous premise to have underpinning a nation.

I didn't say I supported the monarchy.

I am also hoping to some day prove I am illegitimately descended from the British Royal Family.

It would explain so very, very much.

Should I mention a conspiracy theory that I heard several times about the royals. I'll just ask. Did the royals have Diana wacked because she started dating Fayed?

No

The conspirators never would have taken the chance Diana might have buckled up and survived the crash unscathed. Even unbuckled, she almost had a chance, a few miles an hour slower, and she would have lived.

Here's a good video about the monarchy:
The True Cost of the Royal Family Explained
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyYgnhhKFw

it's unfortunate the monarchy still has so much power but they do bring in the tourists. Plus the video explains they are pretty cheap.

P.S. The video explains how the monarchy means each UK citizen pays about £2.60 less in taxes each year because of an old agreement between the monarchy and parliament.
