I’m Finnish so we’re surrounded by constitutional monarchies, and honestly aristocracies are just not something I’d expect from a modern nation. The idea that only a person with the correct heritage is fit for a national leadership position is frankly nuts, and I don’t think the only option to that is the dumpster fire that is US politics
There’s something to be said from having the head of state that represents you on the world stage be decoupled from politics and trained for their role from birth rather then bringing their own sides bias to bear though. We had to endure Boris as a PM, but at least he was never our head of state like Trump was.
Most people outside the UK didn’t see Liz as the head of state though. She was a figurehead not someone with real power. If you wanted to do business with the UK you didn’t talk to her, you talked to Boris.
Most of the time I heard stuff about the royal family it was gossip in tabloids like TMZ. And let’s be real, they didn’t do the best job of representing the UK either in the last few years re: Megan Markle and Prince Pedo.
I’ve never heard a practical justification for spending billions on a monarchy. Seize their land since it supposedly makes so much money in tourism and make them work for a living.
