I adamantly reject the belief that some people are inherently better and deserve special treatment by society and before the law because of their ancestry.

This includes all nobility and royalty titles.

Historically and traditionally, nobles are/were the owners of the land. Shoddy job they've done at taking care of the environment. Overpowered by the industrialists, the new ruling hegemonic class (since the aftermath of WWII); who have been clever to stay out of the public view, unlike these historical noble and royal icons.

The royal family presently takes around £100,000,000 each year from the UK to pay for their "duties". It's called the Sovereign Grant system.
