The reaction to some model complaining on TV is not why MOST people hate the british monarchy.

Personally my grandmother's civilian ship was fired on by the british navy because ... well fun!

British Navy incident........hatred of the royal family. Not entirely sure where the connection between the two is. Maybe it’s misplaced anger

In the same way a person in modern Afghanistan might hate the American government for being at a wedding where a drone strike happened; seems pretty straightforward to me :)

Others in this thread say that a key purpose of the monarchy is as a unifying symbol, if so then this seems like fair game.
