There were admirable things about her as a person, but the concept of monarchy is a stain on humanity. I can't respect anyone who supports the idea of superiority by virtue of bloodline.

Excuse my cynicism, but current European monarchies are just diplomatic services that are bred instead of hired.

They represent a "superior bloodline" only if you have a chip on your shoulder.

Fascism, communism and monarchy are a different side of the same coin.
