that is absolute bull shit. prince andrew walked away wat ppl can do except be angry noting can be done to royals. the royals elect the slave government politicians etc and they serve the royals not other way around. its illusion you have choice even if you do have choice it still lead to the same road.

We are talking about the same government, I want to know the last time when you got a revolt, what happened?
Why queens and kings have born privilege? why they can spend taxpayers money to live a luxury life?

In Britain the people choose to retain the Queen as head of state. The power of funding the Queen is with the people. She is like an institution.

It's not a choice, it's something they have to live with. in a sense , Chinese communist party is like a institution in China, same as the queen in UK.

No. You have no power to change the communist party rule. British government can democratically decide to end the royal family system if they wish. They don't because of its deep history and heritage, so the royal institution gives stability to their multi party democracy. Moreover, UK makes a lot of money from tourism because of the royal family.

If the British decide to get rid of the royal system, they will, if they want to keep them, they will, and they do. That is the freedom which you don't have regarding the communist party.

Wikipedia: Finances of the British Royal Family --
The finances of the British royal family come from a number of sources. The British government supports the monarch and some of her family financially[1] by means of the Sovereign Grant, which is intended to meet the costs of the sovereign's official expenditures.[2] This includes the costs of the upkeep of the various royal residences, staffing, travel and state visits, public engagements, and official entertainment.[3] Other sources of income include revenues from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, a parliamentary annuity, and income from private investments. The Keeper of the Privy Purse is Head of the Privy Purse and Treasurer's Office and has overall responsibility for the management of the sovereign's financial affairs.[4]
