Answer 3

Answer 4

Constitutional monarchies, such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, ordinarily justify royalty by saying that the institution separates the ceremonial from the actual ruling function of government.  Thus, while contemporary royals often serve only as figureheads with little political power, they also supposedly embody the will and character of their country's people.  

For those who don't mind living in a gold fish bowl, it's nice work:

---literally palatial housing

---a world-class university education after schooling at prestigious prep schools

---servants who perform all manner of menial  tasks

---designer clothes

---expensive toys (yachts, sports cars, private jets)

Nevertheless, royalty also fosters unearned privilege, self-centeredness, and isolation from everyday life. The short-lived marriages of Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, also suggest that it's a difficult lifestyle to adjust to if not born into it.  Also, fidelity definitely isn't one of the privileges.
