As an American, I say: My ancestors didn't watch their friends die in the mud during the revolution so that Americans could swoon over the royal wedding.
Constitutionally speaking, I'm a republican, and so are all americans. If we had to deal with what you folks have to deal with, we'd be blowing things up.

its all about power

thats th eother side of it, isnt it ?
Whilst i hate royalists (the majority of them), because of th ecourts, police etc., and their vile behaviour towards the working class.... when yu take it to a higher level, she is hte thing which stops it all going mental.
There are so many groups who would fight for power, if she weren't there, that it would be like mad max town.
BUT, royalist behaviour in england, let alone elshwere, that the people are stewing with anger.

That is so true. The America we once knew and stood for is gone. It is now all about money and power. Our amendment rights are no longer our own. Politicians look out only for themselves, and will turn on a dime for the right price. It's like; Eat shit and smile about it. :)

I'm with you but don't count on anyone in the U.S. Gov. we the PEOPLE lost our Republic long ago. We are now ruled by an elite class that make or break laws to suit there own needs.
I believe the Monarch is an asset to this country. She is the only person who has the right to refuse the release of the armed forces to the government. In theory anyway! Unlike the American President who can use his power to over rule the senate. The monarchy gives a sense of stability and adds to power sharing unlike. She also carries the ability to close parliment if need be.

wozzawarhead - But as the Queen has no democratic legitimacy, she hasn't performed the essential head of state functions to limit the government.
Having the power in theory but never using it for good is pathetic. It is like a fire engine that never leaves the fire station while the town burns.
Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown should have been dismissed but only an elected president could have done that.
Instead, the do-nothing monarchy surrenders supreme power to the PM.

@ProAmericanBriton I take it you would prefere a republic. Then you have to say what kind of republic, the german republic has a president with no power, and really no legitimacy because he or she is not elected by the people. Or, do you want and american type republic, with an all powerful president, possibly named CAMERON

@altersachse I want an all-powerful president, possibly named PETER DOW (my name)!
I plan to add republics to my presidency. Now I'm president of only the For Freedom Forums (not really a republic, just an internet political discussion forum - please register with FIGH. TK)
Perhaps next I'll be elected first President of the Scottish republic, then maybe one day President of the British republic?
I'll never agree to a president like Cameron who has allowed the Queen's tyranny over me.

PM apology after Turing petition
Link in (more info)
"Gordon Brown has said he is sorry for the "appalling" way World War II code-breaker Alan Turing was treated for being gay.
A petition on the No 10 website had called for a posthumous government apology to the computer pioneer. "

I have English relatives that are very proud of their royalty and suggest that we Americans are actually jealous that we don't have that. We can't and shouldn't help get rid of it because that would be interfering and we need to do less of that... not more. But there is one myth that needs debunking and that is that your monarchy helps with tourism. LMAO! Who goes to the U.K. to see the queen? I have actually seen her and it's not even on my top 20 list of great things I've seen/done in the UK.

A4lfclover66 - Your English relatives have been brainwashed by state-controlled broadcasting.
Which is why I commented
"Another key task is for the US and republicans to take over or blow up monarchist controlled TV satellites.
We need the BBC output controlled or censored by republicans for a start."
Inviting the Queen or any Windsor royal to the White House IS "interfering" but in the wrong, unhelpful way.
"Interference" happens as the US & allies are increasingly one polity.
