Brian does have a good point -- other countries operate just as well sans monarchy.
And you'll be hard pressed to find a unique role that the Queen does that is not already done to greater extant by your diplomats, public relations and proper banking.
Also, the concept of a monarchy is endemically not egalitarian.
It is dictatorial.
In America, people with wealth already can enforce a lot of their will. And they do not have the state backing them, unlike your royalty.
Sickening.
That's right. Because the fact that they held all the cards in the past through force of arms and tyranny and possess a lot of the gold means that Golden Rule* is ok.
