It's stuff like this which makes me like our monarchy. Seriously, The Queen does a lot of stuff like this :3

Wow. Nice Queen. If that was non-monarchial(sp?) country, like my own, that'd never happen. So the Queen is nice sometimes? I say sometimes because I've noticed that a lot of British like to complain about her and the royal family. |

If you look even closer we Brits complain about nearly everything, including people that complain. But the simple fact that if we removed the Royals, which we could do, Britain would change from being a Monarchical Democracy to a Republic like France or the US. We wouldn't like that. Besides, they're a tradition ain't they? Gotta keep some traditions. Especially if they give us a good scandal once in a while. |

That and the Royals that aren't scandalus, turn out to be the nicest people you could have as rulers of your country. I.e. The Queen and Prince Charles. |

I see what you did there...

Well, we kinda need 'em as American Looove to come to a country where they have a queen, so they spend all their money on 'vacation' and we then have a stronger economy. That and other contries respect us from our Empire days. Plus this way we get coronations occationally. Bas'ically, I like the monachy. (Though I'm doubtful they need ALL that money )

I sort of agree with keeping the tradition XD we in the Netherlands also havea monarchy.. without our queen we wouldn't have Koninginnedag anymore )= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens_Day I always enjoy the fleamarkets and all. xD But it was rather shocking when Karst. T. assaulted the bus in which the royal family sat on queen's day last year. None of them were hurt, but he did kill multiple people in the crowd. (http://newsbizarre.com/2009/05/karst-t-would-be-assassin-of-dutch.html) Kind of sad that somebody would do that. ....Anyway, really cute story there XD |

Nothing

When I went to London when I was 12, I met a tour guide who said she'd met an american family who came to the UK, asking for the Zoo. They wanted to come see the Unicorns... I shit you not. I've not laughed so hard since... |

Beams of fire sweep through my head thrusts of pain increasingly engaged, sensory receptors succumb, I am no one now, only agony. My crimson liquid so frantically spilled, salivating red, at the prospect of my ruin, my doom. | |

What. That's just... just... why the hell didn't you ask someone to take a picture of them? The Americans, I mean. Silly Americans looking for unicorns in London! Everyone knows they only exist in Camelot... |

That Queensday incodent was quite shocking :S The newspaper that I usually read, one that usually tens to avoid as much sensationalism as the others, had a photo that I found unusually chilling. it was of people getting hit by the car, but they were still in mid air! If it had been a body on the pavement I think i'de have been less disturbed by the whole thing. I do like our Monarchy, though. I've heard talk that Prince Charles is going to throw out the rule that Monarchs cannot influence Politics when he becomes King. Prince Charles is a pretty awsome, and quite inteligent guy, so i can see that going well. Edited by Morgoth883, Oct 21 2009, 05:23 PM.

That law was introduced after the civil war, to stop any other uppity monarchs from trying the same thing as Charles I did. I don't see much need to keep it nowadays, since I don't think our royal family has any intention of selling our nation out
