All of the financial issues aside, it's the very concept of "royalty" that's repulsive and creepy...the idea of "royal blood" in this modern age. I think it contradicts enlightened values and sends the wrong message, that some are born better than others- deserving of special honors and privileges merely by virtue of "lineage".

The brouhaha that ensued because Michele Obama dared to touch the old sea hag was just ridiculous.
