Actually this is great. It’s almost satirical. She’s directly saying that the monarchy is a nonsensical, irrational institution that delivers literally nothing but pointless trivialities at the monetary expense of the masses. Her argument is “we’re an incredibly stupid people, us Brits - stop trying to pretend otherwise!” There’s no ‘rational’ approach to the monarchy because it is as irrational a political structure as you could possibly imagine, so why bother with this down to earth garbage we all know is bullshit? At the very least, if you’re gonna drain all of our wealth, couldn’t you participate in a little stupid pomp and ritual to appease us?

What better argument for abolishing the monarchy could you possibly make?
