Do they still give a shit? Or does America weirdly give more of a shit?

I was told by my British ex coworkers that the royal family is largely disliked because theyre public welfare leeches, or something like that. But they arent vehemently hated.

My British friend is middle class and said they are largely disdained as welfare leeches. She said the rich generally like them as icons of Empire and the Church. I was told lower classes follow them as sport/entertainment like the Kardashians.

It depends. Some people love them, some are indifferent, some hate them.

They clearly still enjoy the idea of their monarchy in Britain since theyve kept it around even though its basically impotent now. But I believe theyre not fans of the current family there. Id also imagine its been a hard disconnect from the days of, like, Victoria, when the British empire was massive. Elizabeth II has just seen the British possessions go away.
