My problem is not with them personally,it is with the idea of inheriting political power by right of birth.

Aversion to inherited political power is not inconsistent with admiration for the British model of constitutional monarchy, since the monarchy has no political power, inherited or otherwise.

Every time I comment on the obscenity of royalty some apologist has to say they have no political influence, ornamental only, quaint little tourist draws.

Then I post the annual Queen’s Speech to Parliament:

and no response.......

Care to get to round two?
