I guess my question is specific to the british royal family.
I saw a post online that said “God save the King” and had a photo of the king. The idea of a monarch or reverence for any other type of leader simply because they are the leader is outside of my experience.
I’m not here to disagree or argue, please don’t feel like you need to justify or convince me. I can accept that people value different things.
I would like to understand the appeal the monarchy or even specifically King Charles has for people who respect and support the monarchy.


Former monarchist here: it was nationalism. Simple as that. Bavarian nationalism.
But that stemmed from self hatred and well thats why i am no longer in the right spectrum ^^
Thank you, this makes sense. I can understand loyalty to a station as symbolic of loyalty to a nation and the sense of belonging that brings.
Glad you are feeling better.
