| 23. The crown is still quite popular in the UK |
|
and will be even more so with Prince William coming of age.
The Brits have always shown irreverence to the monarchy, but always turn down the chance to eliminate it.
Canada has it's monarchists as well, and it's worked nicely for us. Americans have a tendency to treat their presidents as royalty.
Queen Elizabeth is queen of more than the UK and Canada btw.
And of course there are quite a few other monarchies in the world that remain popular.
