The first priority of royalty, *always*, is to preserve their own institution, no matter the cost. I could give you a *long* list of examples, even from WWII.

That is the goal of any form of government; monarchy, democracy, autocracy, theocracy, etc. Don't you think it a little strange to single out one form for such an accusation, when it applies to all forms? I can hardly fault the Queen for wanting to hang on to her job any more than I can fault Blair and Labour for wanting to hold on to theirs.

They'll preserve themselves at all costs, not out of some notion of 'public duty', but out of the insane delusions (about the supposed importance of their own 'noble' blood and 'destiny') that blight Epstein's wits.

Insane? You start losing credibility with your own arguments when you label people with differing opinions as insane... (albeit that Epstein IS actually insane). Its also all to easy, but unconvincing, to sweepingly taint an entire social class with the same set of ideas and theories. Do you have any evidence that the entire monarchy believe this?

I honestly regard them as a parasite on modern society (just like 'State' religions) - and they ensure the continued existence of the inevitable rabble of lesser hereditary leeches.

What claim on the public purse do the lesser heriditary leeches have? Nothing these days as far as I am aware.
