I agree, that is exactly the purpose they do serve... they are the most famous royals in the world as well... I wouldn't call myself a Royalist but I think it does Britain more good than harm having them there

Americans are a very patriotic lot because it is drummed into them at school, everyday from a very early age... thing is though, most of them (from my experience) tend to be very ignorant about the rest of the world and also they tend to come accross as very arrogant...
Brits living abroad (there are quite a lot of us in SA) tend to be quite patriotic
