Mel: We Brits (Heart) Our Royals

Marmitetoasty: I dont think our Queen will give over the reins, kings and queens here seem to just go on til they die…. looks like old Charlie is gonna be a 'geezer' before he gets his chance, I know if given the choice us British subjects would pump for William getting in over Charlie lol…. but then, us subjects dont get a say lol ... I dont care what anyone says about our royals, its our heritage and tradition and pomp and ceremony and it attacts millions of people to this country every year, and yes, I still stand in wonderment when I go to London and see Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guards and all that stuff and nonsense.

Question: Do you know something in this country that would be like the Brits' affection for their royals?
