It just comes across as petty. Mainly from Americans.
But another thing. If lack of representation is the problem? Why not marry someone outside the typical English one. Problem solved. Royal admiration and modernity of being more inclusive
I've been accused of being one of those Queen Liz haters. I dunno; I'd say it's less that I hate her, specifically, and more that I hate the idea that anyone would be born into incredible wealth and luxury just because the right person gave birth to them. More hostility towards royalty, but also a certain amount of hostility towards many non-royals who became wealthy and powerful just because their parents were wealthy and powerful. For example, Trump isn't a good businessman but Fred Trump was. Likewise, Prescott Bush has a son and a grandson who both became presidents and I'm fairly confident they wouldn't have done that if not for Prescott being well connected. I like the idea of people achieving what they achieve based on their own hard work and intelligence, not from family connections.
