But where does the personal wealth of the royals come from? William is said to have inherited $20M from his mother, and will inherit an even more substantial sum from his father, Charles. Even more than the amt of money involved in keeping these people up by the govt, is the entire idea of privilege and wealth brought only by birth and the advantages it brings.

The royal prerogative is still there in the constitutional republic, and the monarch is still considered the head of state, the commander-in-chief of the British forces, and the head of the Church of England, even if only nominally.
