I guess my question is specific to the british royal family.

I saw a post online that said “God save the King” and had a photo of the king. The idea of a monarch or reverence for any other type of leader simply because they are the leader is outside of my experience.

I’m not here to disagree or argue, please don’t feel like you need to justify or convince me. I can accept that people value different things.

I would like to understand the appeal the monarchy or even specifically King Charles has for people who respect and support the monarchy.

    With a monarchy, you don’t have 4 year cycles. The leadership lasts much longer than that.

    Once the safeguard is in place for long enough that it becomes the norm, it becomes harder to reverse.

    There’s a LOT of possible problems with a monarchy, but the biggest advantage is much longer leadership cycles reducing the whiplash of policy change.
