I've read this article twice and it still completely confuses me.

My take away is that Richard III looked like a Viking and the Queen really isn't the Queen.

Positions were bought throughout the ages in the UK.
 
It's likely that anyone is probably the heir to the throne.
 
Six degrees of Kevin Becan and all.

Explain the genetics of the monarchy?
 
Which monarchy?
 
I am the King of all I survey that's all I've got and I haven't got a clue what my forebears got up to, although the fact my Father had no idea who my Mother was and the woman that claimed to be my Mother often used to cast doubts on his paternal heritage may offer a small clue.

There must be some taxes or fees to be collected in that matter JB.

 
Does this thread offer me the opportunity to use the phrase "Useless, freeloading, inbred, dysfunctional, inbred chinless wonders, none of whom I'd piss on if they were on fire"?

Such an American perspective, to think that one could simply buy a position in the Monarchy.
 
You have to have more quality than that to qualify you have to at least some aptitude for, murder, deceit, treachery, subjugation, an ability to plunder foreign lands and win wars, bribery, corruption, torture, imprisonment, betrayal, cowardice, cheating, lying, coldness, tyrrany and a over-riding feeling that all these qualities indicate a divine calling for one individual to better a nation and it's people.
 
Talk of mere money is just bad form.
 
Having said all that though, Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl.

As long as you refrain from 'bunch of shape shifting lizards' I think you'll be OK.

 

I think an American monarchy would be cool.
 
I'd recommend Donald Trump being the first King as he'd be able to provide a bunch of tasteful grand palaces at short notice. 
 
King Don the 1st of the UKoA sounds cool doesn't it? 
 
See how the first 10 generations of Trumps get on then perhaps re-appraise it after say 250 years so it can get properly established then take it from there.
