And British royalty today are mere tourist attractions and nothing more. They have no say, no power, no nothing. They're just "special" people in nice clothes...nothing more.

And people care that one special person will be appointed king over another special person.

No wonder I drink.

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?
