Although I personally would suggest that we don't want the exact system we have now either, and there should be a more radical overhaul of our democracy, which is barely fit for purpose.

same, but what our crown princess amalia is being paid by next year,
1.6 million a year
she gets that without doing anything, and crown princess of belgium goes into their military forces and refused that extra bit of money
what a difference you have with monarchs in other countries too
