No, I find the whole thing embarrassing. The royals make me ashamed. They are just a bunch of ugly, vulgar gargoyles. Every time I see one of them on TV it makes me cringe with shame. Also, we have the worst national anthem in the world. I literally have to go out of the room during world cup!
Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly patriotic. But my patriotism is based more on culture. I'm proud of our incredible literary history - our writers, scientists, artists, philosophers and musicians. This is the island that produced Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Blake, Wordsworth, Keats, Jane Austen, Shelley, the Brontes, Dickens, Virginia Woolf. It's the country that produced the Beatles, the Smiths, the Who, David Bowie, the Clash, the Rolling Stones. Two of the most important scientists who ever lived were Brits (Newton and Darwin), and this was the country in which both DNA and the atom were first understood. It's also amazing that this small island contains not one but TWO of the most famous universities in the world. That's what I'm proud of - not an ignorant little oaf like Prince Harry.
That said, I must admit I have a soft spot for the queen. She truly believes in her duty and has never let this country down (unlike the rest of them). In that sense, I guess, she's kind of an inspiration.
