It's one of the reasons monarchs are popular: they're without teeth. Having been brought to heel by constitutions, mostly.

Our President had far more power than the British Monarch from day 1 of our Constitution. Ironically I guess.

Well...outside of Hanover anyway.

I always assumed the founding fathers of America wanted to create their own monarch in a way.  Ironic indeed.

Everywhere they are, these people remain popular.
Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Spain, US, UK & Commonwealth, people seem to love them.

Personally, I blame Disney for this idea that having a King or Queen is super cool.

Hey! We're not a monarchy yet.
I see someone noticed :P

Some people sure seem fond of absolutism.
