I'm not too keen on the monarchy either, but I believe that if a job's going to be done at all it should be done properly, with tact and diplomacy, even if that does come down to motorised hand waving. I'm also not too keen on being told to be less profligate by someone with several houses, all bigger than mine. So I'm not joining the fan club.
