Royalist!!!
I like, admire and have much respect for The Queen. There was a picture of her on the wall in my first classroom at primary school, that's one of my earliest memories..she's been The Queen all my life.
This provides continuity, and reinforces part of what I feel makes me English. The England I grew up in is disappearing rapidly in a cultural sense, so I tend to cling onto touchstones like Her Maj.
When she 'appoints' a Prime Minister for example, to me, that's The State made flesh..she is 'us'.
The rest of them...
... but all in all, they seem to do a reasonable job of 'being The Royal Family'
