I find the Royal Family to be one of the uniquely endearing qualities of the UK. As an American, I would never bow or curtsy to Royalty, but I would ALWAYS give them the respect they are due, and I would ALWAYS respect the people of the British Commonwealth for acknowledging their heads of state in the appropriate manner. I will also always be thankful for King George being too stubborn to compromise with us Rebels across the pond.
Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

Well without trying to stir the pot any more than it is, I too see the original post as at least disingenous. Sorry my friend, but yes, a Canadian and a British Subject, I do take some umbrage at the tone. Not a very pastoral response, but definitely an honestly loyal one.

And Americans who idolize the presidency? Come, come, now! To suggest it doesn't happen is chosen blindness.

British here... Do I have to justify the Monarchy?
Odd that this should be posted on July 4th however... Just like another inopportunely timed email that I received from HR on the 3rd (there's gonna be trouble ahead methinks...)

It was just an inquiry. I wanted other opinions other than my two Great Grandfather's and two Grandfather's. I sent a message to request this thread removed. Sorry to find so much of the rabble so thin-skinned.

I have trimmed the off-topic posts that appeared after this point in the thread.
It seems a propos to allow the OP to have the final word on this matter, and I have now closed it as per the OP's request.
To all those who have contributed meaningful responses, I thank you for participating.
