There are those who have suggested that I should be abolished because I was old.
But, no I was not suggesting that they should be abolished at all. I was merely asking what purpose they serve. This is not to suggest that they do not serve a purpose, merely that, being raised in a country without royalty, I have not been educated on this point.
I assume the UK has maintained the royalty for a reason. Some in your country accept that reason and there are probably others who do not. I understand the arguments for not having an hereditary monarch, I do not know the arguments in favor of heriditary monarchy.
Charles and Whats-her-name popped over recently and got me to wondering.
Also isn't there an Ice Cube King in Norway?
