With all of the attention on the other side of the Pond over the birth of George Alexander Louis, aka His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the new heir to the British throne, I wonder what it would be like to live in a monarchy. My speculation only extends to consideration of a parliamentary monarchy -- where the monarch serves as a figure-head with traditional and historical functions (after all, we can’t ignore the War of Independence). Royalty above politics.

I understand that there is debate in England over whether to continue the monarchy. Which side would I be on?

What would it be like to be a "Subject" and have a King or Queen?
