Bono* recently got an Honorary knighthood, who do you think deserves a knighthood from the queeny?

in the old days to get an obe you must do something outstanding for the good of the biritsh empire, but now you just have to do something outstanding for the world.

i think that patchou deserves one just kidding..

who do you guys think should get an OBE?

i dont, i think it preserves patrioticism. the percentage of british people who are proud to be british vs the percentage of americans that are proud to be american.

the british would easily have a larger percentage and i dont think that percentage would be there if there wasnt a royal family.

however i do agree with you that royalty in the time where they ruled everything was pathetic. but now in britian we have consitutional monarchy. which preserves heritage [and ups patrioticism] and gives the people a chance to vote who they want in parliment.

the royal family are just  figure heads, but i'm glad they are there.

but each for their own i guess

they get paid for what they do, the majority of princes are in the army, the queen is the head of state. they work for the country. they get paid exaclty how much they work. they do not just laze around. even prince charles has commonwelath duties.
