[Prophet 451]

How is having Royalty harmful? They have no power and we all know that they're Royal purely through accident of blood. You seem to be under the impression that we think of them as superior but we don't, just richer and older. We're perfectly at home with both the idea that our citizens are all equals (even if that is bullshit) and the idea of a powerless hereditary monarchy. Maybe that's contradictory but A) I don't think it is and B) it would hardly be the only thing in our national psyche.
