That would be more correct if the royals didn't regularly petition parliament to change laws that financially impact them.
The late queen did so on several occasions. Many of these law changes were not friendly to the environment either.
There are monarchs around the world who have stepped down and reframed their roles as part of modern democracy, yet the British ones cling to a particularly out of touch model.
They also tried to cover up the shenanigans of a peodphile sibling too.
So, sure, they are born into it, but that's no excuse for what they do and to suggest they don't know any better is a shallow view of humanity that supposes an inability for empathy.
Besides that, the monarchy acts as a symbol that some people are better and more elevated than others -- decreed by god -- only through the process of birth. This is a cornerstone of all nationalism, racism, and xenophobia that has no place in a modern civilisation.
Liz was protecting her shitstain son. When Charlie came in, he at least did something even if it wasn’t what we wanted. Hopefully Randy Andy sees justice soon. Very soon.
The thing about that is, there were royals born RECENTLY, who were intellectually challenged. They tried to bury that in the news, but they couldn’t. They basically dumped those two women in a group home and told no one about them.
Edit: there were a few actually. https://www.theroyalobserver.com/p/queen-elizabeth-cousins-locked-away-psycho-ward
