Austrian here, we got rid off our monarchy (ok, the Entente helped a bit in blowing up our/their empire ...) Sort of, we still give them pseudo state funerals when they die. It is also great fun, people from all the realms are joining, dressing up with flags and all, enjoying a good funeral and than bits and pieces (heart and whatever) are sent to various places across the realms, as is tradition. The UK, and soon the US, should try it some time. After the funeral, everyone goes home again, including the Austrian President and do their Republic thing until the next funeral.
