Well, maybe Brits won't have to worry about the Monarchy much longer. The Windsors will be replaced by a bunch of vampiric Eurocrats and Continental judiciaries, finally completing Napoleon's invasion of Britain a couple of centuries late.
Paranoid Europhobia aside, studying Napoleonic history actually brought me to the conclusion that Bonaparte's defeat was a historical tragedy.
Boney was not particularly evil or good. He was just a man. His empire would probably not have lasted beyond his death anyway..
