    Openness & fairness are incompatible with a hereditary monarchy. Internationalism in the any meaningful sense also.https://twitter.com/NewYorker/status/939087268870000641 …

    Might we not claim Harry and Meghan as the monarchs of our hearts? Might they not serve as paradoxical avatars of our own hopes for a more open, more international, more unified, and fairer world? http://nyer.cm/qTKIIiH  pic.twitter.com/k8DByy5V9Z

        How about we leave monarchs and avatars out of it all together? We are the architects of either our joy or our misery, no one else.

        Symbolism is often empty, but nonetheless useful.

        No it's not. The literal entire basis of america is that we didn't want the crown. Every American who worships the royals are traitors in their hearts, IMO!

        I'd rather start with the British aristocracy. And the most advanced societies in Europe generally have Monarchs.

        And the best evidence of this is the fact that Harry would have to kill half a dozen people to become King.

        It's absolutely insane that monarchies of any sort exist in the 21st century.

        Hereditary celebrity though might be able to exist on the fringes of a functioning society.

        Yes, but why explore that when you can luxuriate in the transatlantic luvvie PR spin AND make it yet another indictment of Trump? #notmyprincess
