You are quite welcome to your opinion, but remember that without the British monarchy, the Magna Carta would never have been written, nor the concept of personal freedom for all men that so threatened the powers of mainland Europe well before the US existed. Magna Carta was after all, the direct basis for your constitution and had my Royal family not been disposed to conquer the world and colonise it it, you might well be speaking French now! ;-)
