Ok - as a Brit I am interested in the responses and feelings of other people in the world about our Queen and Royal Family. Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing to have a Royal Famly? What do you think they add to a nation apart from probaby the tourist trade? What do you know about them? If you do not have a Royal Family in your country - would you like to have one? If not - why not? And for other Brits - how about your views too? Do you think they are an outdated institution or still have something to add to our lives?

The way I see it, having a Royal Family in your country is the same thing as having a President and a First Lady. They are leaders of their country and are in an honorable position. Having a Royal Family or having a President is not a bad thing. They are in their position to help keep order and peace in their country.
I am related to the Royal Family but live in the USA. They are cousins to my family on my father's side. The President of the USA is also related to the Royal Family as a cousin. It appears that everyone is related to everyone in one way or the other.
Being Royal or being a Leader does not make any one person and better than any another person on earth just because they hold a higher rank or position over the people in their country. They are only leaders of their country .
God created all people as equal and He is not a respecter of persons.

The whole idea of royalty is ridiculous. It was based on the idea that they actually had different blood than ordinary people, and that they had special powers. Not exactly something we need today, is it? But it's a good way to leach off the common people.

I liked the queen mother.
Personally i don't like them. I respect 'em don't get me wrong but i think they don't do anything and just act pompus like charles. God help us when he's king, "b-word. king, gastly people. they're like fultures"
I think it's great we have a royal family but i personally think they do more to improve things instead of calling there life busy walking dogs and stuff.
I'm being honest here. so please don't flame me =)
My father side of the family will haunt me down and get me for this.
