Britain is a free democratic country where the royals have very little power. No duh.

150% okay to insult them.

It is a British tradition to mock the royals.

I see value in the constitutional monarchy of certain countries. These people are like the non-political, non-governmental representatives of the country. Kind of like a model family of sorts.

Yes, they have flaws, but Prince Harry has been using his status for good causes.

Always found his crusade against the royal family kind of odd considering how much money their existence generates for England.

Prince Williams complains about African overpopulation while having 3 kids who will consume as much resources as a large African village

maybe it is my inner britishness but I do like the idea of a head-of-state who is not a politician
