You might think that they are troll-y, but that's not the case. Let me reiterate:
I grew up in a country where monarchies are a thing of the past, so I can't really conceive how, in the 21st century, they could still be a thing. The way I see it (from the outside, which is an important factor to highlight) is like a candid camera gone too long, as a bubble waiting to burst.
I honestly can't conceive what it's like having kings, queens, dukes and all that faff, for me it's just an anachronistic joke
Whopper-
for me it's just an anachronistic joke
Me too, and I live here, but the questions are a bit trolly, you can conceive of it really, but it's all bollocks and deserves a bit of trolling, you're just aiming it at the wrong people.

I'm not calling you a troll but your question(s) are troll-y. You know the answer - which the monarchy themselves repeat all the time - which is that it is purely symbolic. Symbols are mutable and differ from person to person, community to community. A symbol of British values / a symbol of colonialism. Symbol of British power / symbol of a poisonous repressive class system. They give people a sense of self and place or make them feel like perpetual outsiders in their own country. As Lizzy and Phil the Greek were around from WWI give or take the last 100 year of cultural history is up for projection onto the crown
