Historical Commentary
The British monarchy is just ceremonial and has been this way for 800 years. Its power is nominal, i.e. it only exists in name. The actual power lies with the "Templar Crown", a.k.a The Crown Estate.

So, in 1215, the British king, John, was forced to sign the Magna Carta, a type of constitution. This document enshrined basic rights and curbed the power of the monarchy. This came after John had been excommunicated from the Church, meaning citizens didn't have to obey him.
In 1213, four years after the Pope had booted out the king, John paid a fee with money he borrowed from the Knights Templar, a militant society of money lenders, i.e. bankers. In exchange for the loan and for protection from rebels, he had to sign the Magna Carta.
The Magna Carta effectively ended British royal power. Fast forward to today, contrary to what we have been told, the King/Queen of England is not the "Crown". The real Crown is the Bankers and Attorneys at the Crown Temple in Chancery, a.k.a the Court of Chancery. Take a look:
A company known as The Crown Estate owns properties across the UK; castles, cottages, farms, forests, retail parks and shopping centres. It owns more than half the UK's entire seashore, holding auction rights for offshore commerce such as wind farms.
The Crown Estate administers real estate worth a minimum of £14.1 billion. So, who owns this company which basically owns the UK? The Crown Estate belongs to the reigning monarch "in right of the Crown," i.e, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign.
However, according to The Crown Estate About Page, the company is "not the private property of the monarch — it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch." The British government is not the owner, either...
The Crown Estate is registered as a corporation and is managed by an "independent organisation". The royal family is NOT involved in its governance. There is also a distinction between the wealth of The Crown Estate and the British monarch's own personal wealth...
The British monarch owns Balmoral and Sandringham Castles, which she inherited. In May 2021, Queen Elizabeth II was worth £365m. £100 million of that is the family's personal stamp collection, known as the Royal Philatelic Collection.
Yes, the British monarchy collects profits from the Crown Estate, but it does not have control over it. The royal family only collects...royalties, as per the 1215 deal. This is just one example of the limits of its power. These limits apply everywhere...
To keep this short, the British monarchy is simply a traditional institution used by the money sector to do its dirty work. Who takes the blame for the atrocities in South Africa, Kenya, India and Ireland? It's not the real culprits, the land and banking behemoths, it's the Queen
The royal family is like that blind 96-year-old grandfather everyone goes to for "advice" and "blessings", the one you go to "show" your new car to. It's just tradition, respect, and reverence. After all, it wasn't Elizabeth who sent British troops into Iraq.
Without going too deep, the British royal house is just a diversion from the real power brokers, the brain power behind every evil that still goes on in the colonies. Behind all that pomp and ceremony, this monarchy is just a damp squib. Cecil Rhodes was not sent by any queen.
