"The Monarchy is both everything and nothing, our most famous institution, but has no real power. We are in awe with it, yet we think it is silly. It exists in a quantum state, both a wave of national mood and singular particle of unjustifiable decadence, depending on how we observe it. It is Schrodinger’s monarchy, both dead and alive.

The monarchy is dead, long live the monarchy!"
