Didn't they fight a civil War about 500 years ago to get rid of the monarchy?

So why do they still even have a Queen?

even if the Royal Family is nothing more than a touriust attraction, it just seems ludicrous to me.

If Our Founding Fathers and the 13 Origanal Colonies fought a Revolutionary War to rid themselves of a king over 200 years ago and are still doing just fine without one. why can't the Brits?

It's Canada. They'll put you a six month waiting list.

I don't think it was ever to get rid of monarchy but to give more rights to the people.

I don't understand the royalty thing. They are no different than anyone else. And if you're a history buff, you will quickly come to the realization that they are oftentimes a lot worse.

[Pippin]

so true.

Nothing against William personally, although his mother was an attention whore and a tart.

All I have to say is “Long live Her Majesty the Queen!”
