What is so special about people who are royals like the QUeen?

Question

What distinguishes them other then their money

Answer 1

well honestly nothing and they really do nothing for their countrys but according to my four year old, she is a princess because I bought her a crown for my wedding and now she is royal. But arnt all little girls royal just like all those familys, they really don't contribute to their countrys (the family) except in gossip.

Answer 2

Bloodline. I'd proudly die for my Queen, and she'd proudly die for any of her subjects. It's called loyalty. It's called honour. It's all that binds us now in these turbulent times of ideals being thrown about like hot potatoes.

Answer 3

All the stuff they do for the country well in the UK anyway. All politicians from any country especially the USA fall in love with them this helps soften them up before they go on to the bussiness with the PM. Not apart from all the money they bring in from tourism far more than it costs to keep them. Also all the history they bring to life, get rid of the royals and its just history with them the historic buildings are still active and all the ceremonies they have been doing for hundreds of years still happen.

Answer 4

Purely the inheritance laws. They have inherited an empire that makes Bill Gates look like a shoe shine boy. When the Royal families wealth is discussed they never disclose any capital assets such as property, art, jewelry ( the Crown Jewels are literally priceless) or land (Prince Charles owns Cornwall). They are one of the biggest employers in the country and make millions for the country via tourism. They are the head of the Church of England (which is the biggest land owner in England) yet their religious tolerance is a model to us all. Mostly they are figure heads and diplomats which cost us nothing in the long run. They no longer have any political or judiciary powers as Britain is a democracy.

Still nice work if you can get it.

What distinguishes them from you and me? Genetics, family history and the way they are raised (doesn't make them better than us). After all these things probably distinguish me from you.

Answer 5

lots of inbreeding, marrying cousins etc.
