There is certainly something to be said for tradition and longevity but I wonder how this is viewed here. The American public has always had a fascination with the British royal family and it's ups and downs but is it really relevant in the modern world or just a nostalgic relic?
I was in London a couple of years ago with my brother and decided to take the Buckingham Palace tour. It hadn't been open to the public on my previous visits to London. My brother's British friend who lives in London went with us. We also invited his friend's mother to go with us but she declined because she wasn't fond of the Royals. Evidently they aren't universally loved in Britain.
