Symbolic power is power nonetheless.
To be born to it is the hight of injustice.
The fact that exercising those powers would quite seriously fuck things up for the monarchy surely goes to show how pointless it all is.
I have symbolic power to do X,Y and Z
In reality I cannot do X,Y and Z
The power to do X,Y and Z is why I am here, and why I have such a privileged life.
Simplistic perhaps but telling also.
