British people paying half a billion in taxes a year to let one old inbred family prance around at fancy dinners, ride horses, and boss around butlers while wearing stolen jewels. 

And a presidential system would cost more.

Only a 30 min drive from where Diana "died"

How so? The royal family has no governmental function, it hasn’t had any in over a century. Plus there’s the prime ministers which like  other countries president cost taxpayers a fortune.(https://www.politico.eu/article/britain-failed-prime-ministers-cost-taxpayer-a-fortune/). If you’re comparing the costs with the US presidency, of course it’s expensive for a larger country with a bigger economy (California’s economy alone is larger than the UK).

The gouvernement and medias being more concerned about which caviar and champagne to serve to a powerless king, while the raise of prices/taxes is burying french people.

They would be a PM and a president because we would need a head of state. It would end up a political mess, imagine a president Liz Truss or Boris Johnson. The monarchy actually generates its own wealth unlike a president would.

Honestly I’m all for a parliamentary system like the one in UK now. Royals are a bit long in the tooth but it kinda works? Maybe an appointed president will do too but then you will have to pay for that too and without the fun. I’m in a country with full American-style presidential system and it creates dictators. An apolitical head of state can be good for checks and balances.

I’ll never forgive her. Poor Diana.

Exactly.

Macron always shown way more interest towards international fancy events than towards its country masses daily life. It seems like the french presidency's just a step for him before some foreign responsibility he actually desires.

And medias loves these royal things to take the masses out of their regular "poor life" and deflect from the fact they skip meals.

I'm not gonna sit here and say Camilla is an innocent woman because she most certainly isn't. 

I will however say I am fascinated by the quickness people have to drag her and throw her under the bus and call her illegitimate etc when her husband did far, far worse than she ever did to Diana and the boys and he doesn't get it nearly as bad on a personal level.

He takes some criticism as he rightfully deserves, but the criticism is often centered on him as a royal and as the King, not him as an individual independent of the crown.

There's such vitriolic hatred spewed at her so often and he often escapes the amount of heat he truly deserves and it really is...confusing. Especially when I know Charles is hated. It just seems sometimes like no matter how much he is hated, people delight more in giving his wife hell and laying everything at her feet when, while she has some responsibility to take, is not a fair or accurate reading of the true history. 

It's giving Beatles fans shitting on Yoko Ono for decades over the decisions John made. 

I don’t care for Camila but you’re absolutely correct. 
 

Think about the Clinton scandal. It was the three women involved, Hillary, Monica, and Linda that were absolutely destroyed by the media and society. Bill was a husband and the president and Monica’s boss.
 

Misogyny.
