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.
I’m a 'Murican. When they had that royal wedding back in 2012 or whenever and everyone was going crazy I was like didn’t we fight a war so we wouldn’t have to care about this?
I’ve been around general monarchists, as in people who support monarchy as a form of government, and always wanted to ask this question. The best answer I can think of myself is that democracy is not a guarantee against bad leadership.
