Sometimes the behaviour of individual members of the royal family left a lot to be desired, but the institution remains, in my view, preferable to others.

How are they superior to us? Aren't we all created equal? Isn't respect to be given freely to the person, not the position? Too many questions swim in my mind when I watch the bowing to royalty.
