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.

    Not a monarchist, but I definitely have one big gripe with democracy.

    Who is responsible?

    I feel like there is no responsibility within democracy. Politicians just point at abstract things like party, commission etc. They can sell the country to the outsiders for cash money and nobody will be at fault. Or perhaps it’s the voter, his fault for voting. And when there is too much “guilt” put on party they just disband it and start a new one. Same people, same issues, just a different name.

    As for British Monarchy - they are literally pets. I wouldn’t mind a permanent big-brother house with royal family for my country. Would certainly save up on production of telenovelas.
