I find the Royal Family intriguing... and having visited England, many times... and toured the country and somewhat studied the history I think the Royal family is interesting. And as I've said... I like the Queen, quite a bit. BUT... no....
I don't follow their every move... or even their once a decade moves. It's a throw-back to a by-gone era... but with a great deal of pizazz. And I think there is a place for that.... in today's world. - JamesJM
Well speaking as a former Canadian with deep Canadian republican sentiments (as in, pro-republic, of course, not the American Republican party)--why not just get rid of the monarchy. (Don't know if you realize this but technically the crown is still the head of government in Canada.) I suggested that (ie get rid of the monarchy) to a Brit friend of mine who happens to be a radical, and his response was that no, the monarchy draws in too much American tourist money.
