I just had a look at a list of the countries that still have monarchies and one thing that struck me is that they are some of the happiest and most prosperous countries in the world today:

No, out of interest, I looked at all of the statistical analyses and the average for monarchies is significantly higher than the average for other countries. 7 of the top 10 countries are monarchies whereas none of the bottom 20 are:
Overall rank Country or region Score GDP per capita Social support Healthy life expectancy Freedom to make life choices Generosity Perceptions of corruption

I enjoyed your post - I wasn't attacking your views specifically but the views of those republicans who want to remove the Monarchist system without thought of what would replace it. I do agree with some of the points you make - separation of Church and State for instance. Short of killing ROyal Relatives there is not much you can do about their existence, but with well known exceptions most do actually earn their keep, as well as undertaking cermonial duties that often mean a lot to the people attending them. In most cases there seems little evidence of adult Royals just "sponging" off the state rather than actually doing something - Andrew and Harry are exceptions. The point I was making about land is that while it is nice to own half of Cumbria it is not so nice if you don't actually have an income stream to go with your assets, so arguments that tot up fixed assets as the sole indicator of wealth are disingenuous. You can own the Mona Lisa and be considered a billionaire and still die of starvation. Your point about Charles is plain wrong. It was not his house - he was trying to raise money to restore an important historic house and he pulled strings and contacts to get a massive sum to save it. Everybody is asked to pull strings sometimes on someone else's behalf. If you derive benefit yourself then yes that is corruption. Perhaps he was naiive. Personally I think if he wangled a million from an Arab Prince nobody has ever heard of in exchange for preserving an architectural masterpiece I'd say, well done. In the wider Royal family, I wonder whether anyone aside from those rather odd Royal obsessives could work out exactly who Prince Michael of Kent, or the Duke of Gloucester are, for example so there's no shame in Europeans not knowing either, but in those spheres in which those Royals are a patron or a representative they will be well known enough, both at home and Internationally and in almost all cases much respected for the quiet understated good that they do. |
I accept your points on the Charles cash story though it was not well handled. I don’t dispute that some royals do good work, I just don’t like the fact that their positions are by birth or marriage not by an open selection process, though you can argue the jobs may not be in much demand.
Certainly bowing or curtseying to lesser royals irks me as does their sometimes back door entries to top universities and jobs by virtue of their titles. Guess I’ll have to live with all that for the foreseeable future. | | | |

No, out of interest, I looked at all of the statistical analyses and the average for monarchies is significantly higher than the average for other countries. 7 of the top 10 countries are monarchies whereas none of the bottom 20 are:
