Actually I would argue that I'd rather have a king with zero power than an idiot like Bush with power to fuck the system - that's probably the greatest advantage of a constitutional monarchy (the king doesn't have power, therefore doesn't rule and impact legislation). In theory I'm ok with both republics and constitutional monarchies according to the principles of liberalism - 100 years ago some countries overthrew the monarchy but nowadays it will be more complicated because of stability, tradition and other issues like if the use of force is necessary or if it's legally possible to replace the monarchy.
I do agree that for someone with zero power the amount of attention they get is ridiculous. As an outsider I'd rather see less news about the British royal family and probably more about David Cameron and what goes in the parliament/world politics

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
