Beer Not Appropriate for Royal Wedding

This is equivalent to saying that you respect slavery because America wouldn't have gotten where it did without slavery (which it wouldn't have). I live in Virginia, which was the capitol of the south during the civil war. If the state flag of Virginia carried an image of an old slavemaster driving his chattel to market I think there would and should be general outrage, despite its historic significance to the history of the state. The monarchy and royalty in general is also the embodiment and symbol of a very fundamental immorality and should not be idolized or even tolerated. Even if every monarch that ever lived was a perfectly virtuous human being and did nothing but good, the idea that a person is pre-ordained to hold power over his fellow man is not an value that any enlightened person should consign themselves to accept. For this same reason Caste and Class systems are also unethical. If you believe that people should be judged on their merits instead of the station of their birth then you should not consider royalty to be anything but wrong.

You recommended I read a little british history, I recommend you read a little Thomas Paine.

That's a seriously flawed analogy and straw-man argument if I've ever seen one. I also do not see something inherently wrong with one person having excess political power. What is a president? What is a prime minister? The only difference is birth vs. merit, but I don't think half the people in our government deserve to be there in the first place. There is a hereditary political elite in every single form of government in existence, democracies included. The existence of an elite class has been a part of human society since the beginning of permanent societies. Like it or not, it's not going away.
