¿Do you like the monarchy?

Answer 1

The ones in Nepal are apparently a bit off, same goes with the ones in Lesotho. If you mean the ones in Sweden they seem to be alright and the same goes with the Norwegian and Danish ones. The Japanese have been around so long they are totally out of touch
By the way. Which monarchy are you referring to ?

Answer 2

I admire the British monarchy and those subjects who support their Constitutional monarchy! HRH Queen Elizabeth is a terrific head-of-state. Wish Americans could say the same.

Answer 3

They are real people just like you and I. However, they tend to be a bit on the stodgy side. I think they really hate being in the limelight all the time. In my opinion, royalty is rather outmoded. The Queen is actually just a nice lady with a title, as the United Kingdom is actually run by the Prime Minister. The consort, Prince Phillip, is merely a figurehead, and doesn't feature much in the royal family. The Princes Charles and Harry, don't do a lot either, as far as benefiting the country. But all the royals are in the news, so we are aware of their presence. As far as liking them, I can't say I dislike them. But I don't think they are very happy, and if they had their way, they'd probably prefer to live ordinary lives..

Answer 4

As an Englishman and a royalist I would have to say yes. They are what has made this country what it is. One of the few democratic countries in the world. Even though politically their role is superficial, nevertheless no Act of Parliament can be passed without the Queens approval.
They are the greatest tourist attraction that this country has. When they go abroad they also generate a great deal of foreign trade.
Of course as this country changes in its population make up, then views will change. My answer is if you don't like royalty then go to a country where there is no monarchy - sooner the better.

Answer 5

Depends on the type, absolute or constitutional [limited]? I personally, prefer a constitutional monarchy in fact its about equivalent to a democracy.

Answer 6

I think our Queen is remarkable in her dignity and consistency of behaviour. She has had many personal tragedies, which she has borne with fortitude. I remember her from being a little girl in the 1950s and she has never let us down.

I get tired of people's envy of her wealth. The Royal Family actually cost us very little per capita each year and bring in an enormous amount.

Does anyone consider her total lack of freedom. She can never voice her opinion in the way that people on here are doing and just goes stoically on through all the criticism of the Royal Family in the press. God Bless the Queen.

Answer 7

I have always been a Monarchist. By their very existence they contribute substantial amounts to HM Treasury, plus HM The Queen and other members of the Royal family pay taxes on their income, both personal and corporate.

Plus, they can be very entertaining!!

Answer 8

I am an American so I don't really know from experience, but I love them and I don't see why people don't like them. I think that they do a wonderful job especially if you consider how much stress they are under. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be trying to please so many people. And no matter what you do you will be criticized by someone. I think they are absolutely wonderful.

Answer 9

I assume you are talking about the only important Monarchy, The British one........Of course I have followed them for years, and the truth is most people follow them. If it wasn't true they wouldn't have web links and slideshows right on the Yahoo news page! The web links are very up to the minute and informative. You don't see any other Royal Families mentioned on a daily basis!

Answer 10

Yes. God Save the Queen!
