Neither my husband nor I have any extended family to speak of. No parents, grandparents or siblings that we are close with. My friends would say that I probably don't think family is all that important because I dont associate with the little family that I have left. But, the truth is, I do miss family terribly, I just don't have family members that I am comfortable with or enjoy. My immediate family, my husband and daughter as well as a few close friends mean the world to me. I came into this world alone, and someday I will leave this world alone, having my immediate family and close friends have made my journey worth living, and one that I enjoy immensely. Family gives me a purpose to wake up everyday and face the world with a smile.

Princess Stephanie of Monaco ( I believe that's her name), Zara Phillips of England (she's more of a lady/noble), and possibly the cutest ones Princess Madeline of Sweden ( and of what I've seen she has great style) and her 30 something sister, Princess Victoria, I always felt was so beautiful. I first saw a picture of her when I was like 14 in the National Enquirer.

Nice putting this question in the royalty section.  You're awsome because you were born that way.  It just happens.

Every year my kids (I have 4) get together and get a picture made for me... now we have a wife, a girlfriend, a boyfriend and grandkids included in all of this. I love it! We all do dinner and have everyone together... sounds kinda corny I know, but it's really great.

i live in Canada, and i know i don't mind having a "queen".  she doesn't make any governmental decisions, so it doesn't affect much in the country. all she seems to do is make occasional visits and pose for our money.  i think i might actually like it more, at least she is a permanent figure head, our prime ministers seem to change every couple of years.

I'm the American son of a British father, so I hold dual national status and carry both US and UK passports. I am thus able to view this from both perspectives, I think, so I'll toss in my two cents/pence.\n\nThe Royals are indeed pointless in terms of actual power and general usefulness (the Queen is only the titular head of state and wields no real power that I can see -- and quite right too!) and they cost the British taxpayer an absolute fortune to house, clothe, feed and protect in the almost obscene luxury and style to which they are accustomed. \n\nThat said, they also bring in mega tourist dollars/pounds/euros and all the media attention associated with prestige, pomp and circumstance. I sometimes wonder if they are more beloved in the former British colonies than at home. Odd, that. Still, there are very clearly many Britons who remain loyal and supportive of the titular monarchy, even as there are many who would love nothing better than to see them deposed and made to work for a living. It is quite a conundrum, isn't it?\n\nAs to your query about why they interest people so much, your guess is as good as mine. I expect it's because we live in such a celebrity culture (on both sides of the pond and in most other modern, westernized nations, as well) and people just can't get enough of this sort of thing. It goes without saying that I am made nauseous by this fact, but I am hardly representative of either my fellow countrymen or those in the land of my forebears. \n\nFor what it's worth, I think the much-maligned Prince Charles is actually an intelligent and generally decent man with sound ideas regarding the environment, architecture, etc. His father is a complete jackanapes who puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis. The Queen herself is okay with me, albeit as pompous and dowdy as a modern monarch could even dream of being. I always liked the late Princess Diana and was sorry for her tragic loss. I like Fergie, as well. Prince William seems a decent and responsible sort but Harry is trouble and will doubtless remain so, his training at Sandhurst notwithstanding.\n\nI'll not bother with the rest of the Royals and I expect you have your own well-formed views in any case. I think the best and fairest thing to do would be for the British people to hold a referendum on the desirability of the monarchy, literally a popular vote with an up or down verdict. I confess I would be very intrigued to see the end result. Please keep me posted, ok?

Well in the days of high kingdom hood, the benefits were a stable line of government.  The royal family was the standard of how one should conduct themselves.  The burden of government fell on one person to make the necessary decision without the complications of pleasing everyone.

In most royal families yes that is the case. This is so that the bloodline is passed on and due to traditions
