I'm curious about attitudes, especially from those that live in the British Commonwealth, how do you feel about having a monarch and royal family ? I know that the royals derive a large income from their holdings and investments, but, I assume that much, if not all, of the money that goes to support their official functions comes from tax revenues. Do y'all think that the monarchy is a wasteful anachronism or that, whether it serves a useful government purpose or not, it's worth supporting and preserving for cultural/historic reasons ?
