I pick option 1.  I would never support a full monarchy these days, but keeping the tradition for the sake of history and tradition is a distinctly British thing and it works.

Not a fan of the modern monarchy, though the late Queen Mum was one tough, old bird.  I liked her.

I prefer my Kings and Queens like Longshanks or Henry VIII...you know...heads rolling all about the place.

Total illuminati. I think they may ever be related to the Rothschilds. I forget if its from Princess Di or the the Windsor Line. You can look can google it if you don't believe me.

And it's well known that Edward VIII was good friends with Hitler, and Prince Harry (who's hot, i'll give him that) was pictured wearing a Nazi badge on his arm in the Army. And they had Princess Diana killed, why did they take so long to respond? It's pretty obvious, really.

Option three.

Strongly support! Every country needs it's own royal family (or if you're Canada and Australia, I guess you can borrow England's).

Rather unoffensive and does her job well.

Though her 'representatives' in Canada suck balls and they can go stuff themselves.

Option 1

As a national symbol for the British People, it is serviceable.  I have to admit that, even as an American, my heart swells from time-to-time thinking of the sovereign.  That being said, I absolutely approve of the rolling back of royal families legal and financial privileges over recent years.

It's a horrible institution for the people who find themselves part of it. I'm not sure HRHTQ is much better off than the Dionne Quints.

No reason to exist if they're not going to function as an actual monarchy. Outside of that Option 3.
