What are your views on the British Royal Family?

Question

I was just wondering what people thought of the British Royal Family as a lot of people seem to be extremely interested in them.

I personally find them quite dull and don't really understand why people have slight obsessions with them.

Answer 1

I don't think they're that interesting but then again they are my cousins so I get to see the truth about what is going on and not just what the tabloids have to say at the moment.

Answer 2

They're scumbags who leech off the people. That's why I love 'em, though.

Answer 3

Every society needs a bottom and a top. Nobody admits to being at the bottom but we all assume who is at the top. Its history tourists come to see, and the royals are living embodiments of the past. They live in it and make money from it, One day times tide will smother them and they will be no more.

Answer 4

I don't get the obsession with them, either, though I do support them. It is refreshing to me to see that such a family can have the same sorts of quirks and foibles as any other family can, and I'm sure that Jerry Springer would love to have them on his show. They could appear the same night as mine does!

God save the Queen!

Answer 5

boring..there is nothing about them at all

Answer 6

I for one am an anti-monarchist to the bone. I think the monarchy infantilises society. Why should we have to look up to people who have absolutely no right to be there, and who live grand lives on our money? And don't give me that "good for tourism" bull, it's good for tourism because people are amazed at how quaint and out of date it is - not exactly something to be proud of! My god don't even get me started....!
