I learn a lot with this thread! i didn´t know that Autralia and canada have monarchies!
Well, I´m from a American country, Argentina, and we are far from royals (and all the wold). I think most of people in my country don´t know the name of one royal and we see them as a show.I discover 1 year ago that spain still have a mornachy! And netherlands royalty is faumous since Maxima married Willem.
Almost 200 years ago that we are independient .
Royalty of Spain made disasters with our native people when they discover America (1492), they murder, took in ambitius people who only want money, power and gold
, and tried to change our religion with bad ideas . They only think in them and the best for Spain and left us to our destinity. Well after 300 of reing all the countries in America got independient.(araund 1810)
For me monarchy is irrelevant, they are famous people but I think that they aren´t soo important. And remember I´m from a country that is a republic, so I have a diferent history and different thouhts. Maybe a lot of people in Arg. think that is imposible that some countries still have a monarchy and these live in palace and have a lot of money, but we have politics that rob
a lot of money and now we are a poor contry (50% of our poblation is poor) so I think that is a cultural difference.
Sorry for my bad english
