"kingdom" is the official system of government for your terrible island nation. your navy christens ships as "her royal highness' destroyer battleship HMS lord trafalgar" or whatever style depending on the gender of the king(lmao) or queen(lmao). theres a Royal Palace. your 'democratically elected' leaders actually consult these german assholes, are required to consult them, do so because its their pleasure to consult these them. the Royalty. the united states is just as bad or worse but at least the PR is less embarrassing than that bullshit

most modern nations have the decency to not give powerful institutions labels like the "house of lords" and have the queen lay a sword on someones shoulder and make them sir idiot bono of the house idiot inbred retard first of his name

thank you, united kingdom, for being the silliest nation on earth

I'm pretty sure the whole royalty thing is just a way for the British to pretend they are actually still of some relevance to the world stage and not just our toadies due to the special relationship.

let's examine uk record:

under strong monarchy: ruled most of the world with the most expansive and powerful empire in human history
under constituonal monarchy: scotland nearly leaves the uk

That's not how it works they have a guy introduce her on her behalf in a voice like 'HER ROYAL MAJESTY THE QUEEN' so there you go

EDIT: For real though although I would like to see the monarchy burnt at least Liz is pretty benign compared to the insidious meddling gently caress that is Prince Charles.

they also have some historical hosed up poo poo where the king of England was also the king of France but not really and there were two popes and they disagreed with whethere the king of englandwas the king of France or if the king of France was the king of England and for some reason that was a big deal even though they all inbreed and have bad teeth
