Just consider it a trade for our having to listen to news reports about ridiculous US celebrities.

It is important we respect our Head of State, as shown when my family and I stood to attention.

I don't agree with the concept of monarchy in any form. It isn't the money as any political system requires funding. It's simply the idea that our head of state should come from one family ad infinitum. We don't allow that for any other job. And I don't believe it should be the case for our head of state.
