I think 'Royal Families' are absurd, undemocratic, ridiculous etc etc. The idea that a family can be royal and that their successors can reign viewing the vast majority of other people as their 'subjects' (even if those successors are idiots) is absurd. So the basic question is - what is the actual origin of these (so-called) 'Royal Families' and what gives them the authority to be kept at state expense, generation after generation ?? Seems like a ripoff to me.
In England the reigning family are not even English by ancestry. They are German. It's ridiculous.
