I think a big fantasy believed by some folks in the US is that the British monarchy has a lot of control over the government. Maybe fictional portrayals of Queen Elizabethâs life helped to dispel that somewhat. 
Still, the article you posted about the many atrocities committed during her reign makes a good case for ending it:
It reminded me of this story about a Kenyan woman who publicly demanded reparations from Queen Elizabeth II:
(Well, todayâs direct in less than an hour)
Geez not everyone thinks watching this will be more fun and exciting than those things haha
And I thought before the advent of cable, being subjected to the Presidentâs televised speeches was the worst thing somebody could endure. 
With that title for Zelda, Iâm not surprised that they didnât livestream in the UK.
They wouldâve gotten a lot of flak for âTears of the Kingdomâ announcement.
Sky News tells Britain that revolution is democratic.
Itâs getting got to the point now where iâd be happy to see a first republic.
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, sheâs a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the Queen
Only place that heâs ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man
Iâd suggest an anti-monarchy playlist thread but i wouldnât want to risk anyone getting in trouble with the authorities - a sentence i never thought iâd type about a supposedly democratic country.
A second republic. The first was after Charles I was executed and Charles II forced into exile, which makes me really surprised they decided to try having a Charles III right now.
Yes. It was a thematic link to the song embed yâsee. 
That also raises the question of exactly what you would call the UK if it was without a monarchy, as you canât exactly have a âkingdomâ thatâs a republic.
The Paradox grand strategy games would suggest either:
âThe Republic of Britanniaâ or âThe Workersâ Commonwealthâ if thereâs a communist revolution.
Showing how NOT modern the institution is, they refuse to get the king a box of decent pens (like Zebra Sarasa Dry) to keep up appearances
Thatâs a good cubical dweller moment in my book. Humanizes Chuck a bit for me, anyway. If I have to sign a bunch papers, itâs a BIC Atlantis or GTFO.
Stopped for a bacon sandwich after work this morning, whilst waiting at the burger van i overheard this rather bizare conversation by another customer and the van owner.
Customer was gushing over the royal family and mentioned: " i like them because theyâre not political you know, they donât influence how things are run" (1. this is not true, 2. they do nothing / are useless is a plus point?)
and then went on to mention âiâm glad we had the queen as head of state, as otherwise weâd have a president instead of a prime minister and that would be incredibly awfulâ (of course he didnât mention any reasons why thatâd be awful, but he was appalled by the idea for some reason)
The burger van owned looked a bit confused over this conversation too, but was clearly just giving vague responses to be polite.
So there you go, reasons why you should have royalty as head of state:
- Theyâre useless
- They prevent the undefined horror of having a president instead of a prime minister
It was the most surreal conversation iâve heard in a long time.
