Why? I mean why did you repost pictures from the British Monarchy Flickr account. Are you in their pay? I do not understand why you have posted this picture. Did nothing happen in Inverness, a snail run over by a bus? Anything but this repulsive freeloader walking around and making a mockery of democracy.
I don't know, I think it's kind of cool you pay attention to this kind of stuff IDP. It's part of your nation, and it's even more a part of the Highlands. I know that royalty et cetera wasn't always good for my family, it got us driven out of Scotland (then again, I wouldn't have been born if my MacRae ancestors hadn't boarded the boat for New Brunswick, and I certainly wouldn't be wearing a cowboy hat and partaking in the legend and beauty of the American West, and there is a certain awesomeness to being simultaneous descended from one of the greatest Highland fighting clans, Genghis Khan [no joke], Tudor politicians, Confederate Blockade Runners, and major landowners in Vik) but it still is a part of your story, and to a lesser degree, maybe even mine, maybe.
Besides, these days aristocrats are basically an island volcano sacrifice anyways, so I don't think it's a mockery of democracy any more than parading the leaders of fallen kingdoms and tributaries through the Colloseum was a mockery of Rome! Besides, they generate tourist revenue Anon, and increase the sales tax collection of newspapers, so you can't technically call them freeloaders.
