I'm not sure if I qualify as a "royalist" or not. To my mind, if I think 
the Crown is doing something exceptionally foolish or dangerous to the 
Kingdom, I consider it my duty to advise them (politely and privately, of 
course) not to do so.

Funny somewhat-related story: Back in the late '70s or early '80s, someone 
asked me if I was a Democrat or Republican. I looked at my watch and then 
told him I was a monarchist (it was after 5:00 on Friday, you see, which 
meant I was in SCA-time.)
