Agreed. Most other countries seem to manage to get along fine without one, so I don't see any reason why we couldn't as well.

Outdated institution that should be disbanded.
They should learn from other more 'human' monarchs that are actually in touch with what actaully goes on in their countries

paul-s........ King Arthur was probably just the same ... remember Lancelot, Guinevere, etc etc.......... we just see the romantic stories set around those people and times.
As for the Tudors...........well...... just how many wives can one king get through? So our Royal family are pretty tame really.
As Moses says above, the core of the family are ok and seem to earn their pennies. But the peripherals.....Andy the Flyer and Eddie the ....?? and all that follow are really surplus to requirements and should be sent to a small island somewhere a very long way away.

I always thought that if we were a republic, Frank Bruno would make a great president and ambassador for our country. 
Prior to his mental breakdown, of course
I can just imagine him at an EU/UN summit. And if there was a disagreement, it could always be settled with a fight.
