I am with you in concept, and the idea of royalty seems crazy when the current generation has more in common with the Kardashians and Hiltons than anything seemingly royal.
That said, I think it's ok to honor a deal of, "Walk away, and we let your offspring pretend they are important, and we won't expropriate your wealth." And as much of a shmuck Prince Harry seems to be, I respect that he volunteered to serve in Afghanistan, where he knew he would be a target. That's more brave than any president that the US has seen in the past 20 years.

Prince Harry is only something like 4th in line to the throne though, they didn't let Prince William go to Afghanistan.
Fair enough. I cite Harry because he's the one doing the dumbest things in his free time. (Though not that much worse than when I was 19)
