A couple of weeks ago it was the christening of the Crown Princess' daughter in Sweden and last week UK celebrated the Queen 60 years jubilee. These 2 events made me think of why there is such a fuss about the monarchy. We take our time to celebrate them and honour them for their service to the country but what do they actually do and why do we take our time to focus on someone else's life?
The royal family is suppose to represent the country without having a connection to a political party but how can they represent a country when they don't live in the normal society? The royals are born into a family which is protected and they never get a chance to live a real life. Where ever they go they will be treated in a special way and this will affect their view on the world and therefore won't be able to represent the people. You can't represent something you don't know.
I'm not saying that the Royal Family never do things us commoners do becuase they do go to school, spend time with their friends and the British Queen even went to the army. However, when they do this they are still not normal people. If they are struggiling in school there will be someone to tutor them, they can't go anywhere alone and therefore won't have any privacy and I bet the Queen wasn't treated as every other soldier when she was in the army. These things shows that even though they want to get the experience of being normal they won't.
Our fuss about it doesn't help. What if we let them be a normal family and not celibrate them like they were some kind of G-ds? Maybe they would have a chance to actually be able to represent the people and country being aware of how it is to be a commoner. They can still be called King and Queen and we could still have role models but there is no need to make this fuss about them.
They are humans like all of us but we seem to forget them and focus more on them than what is actually going on in the world. During the Christening all newspapers were about that and during the Queen's jubilee other things happening in the world seemed insignificant. We need to set our priorities straight. Instead of focusing on these people born to their role we need to focus on the people who actually achieve something.
Yes, the royal family does achieve things but they haven't done anything to be in that place. Their achievements are set and all they need to do is to behave. Wouldn't it be better to have someone to represent us that has achieved things by studying and working his way up. We should be shown these people and be proud of them instead of being proud of the Queen or King.
During the jubilee I saw so many people saying that they are proud to be British but I couldn't understand what made them so proud. I wish people said that when they saw a normal person going to work, go home, take care of their family and achieve things without it being their role in life. That is what should make us proud and what we should focus on. Royalty is in the end of the day just a title they are born with and why should we be proud of someone else's title, we don't gain anything from it.
