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-

Besides G.Britain, Belgium, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Denmark are all Kingdoms. (Their actual names are "The Kingdom of Sweden", "the Kingdom of Belgium" etc.)

These are modern, enlightened, socially advanced countries ... and their "subjects" have a social-safety net that is guaranteed at birth.

"born better than others" indeed.

Ironic isn't it that "The Kingdom of Sweden" a constitutional monarchy, ranks first in the world in The Economist's Democracy Index.
