I understand the concept of celebrity, so why can't the royals be elected and be celebrities?

Plenty of people come to washington DC to go to the white house, and capitol building, and we don't have a monarchy, all of the people in those buildings are there based on elections.

the idea of a bloodline living off of their parents celebrity is repulsive, just like Paris Hilton. people should not be judged based on their parents status.
