Side note: Ninja second time you've done it, its Britain and British not England and English. It very American to refer to Britain as England but Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people are part of this country too.

I really don't care.

Really.

As for the pomp British people enjoy it for the most part. The most recent survey I remember was 75% in favour of the Monarchy and only 15%~ for a republic. Its part of our identity and for that reason people go out in droves at any state occasion. I kow. I am not saying that they aren't. But there are many people in the world that favor silly pompous thnigs.

All you have to to is watch Prime Time in the US or reat the tabloids to realize this. People, in general, are stupid. Stupid people, in general, will support stupid things.

So if paying a few million a year to have this kid romp around at parties wearing a Nazi Costume and play Polo (another quintessentially useless endeavor) in the US, fine. It still serves no other purpose than the expensive entertainment of a brain-dead idological society that fixates on figureheads in the hopes that this somehow reflects some sort of fairy-tale fantasy of mythological "Regality".

Again, this is not isolated to just the English, Scottish, Irish, British, French, Italian, Indian, Swahilli, or South Philidelphans. This is a general human trait to idolize and fantasize, even if it actually costs you money to do so.
