Well, you're in a country of _free citizens_ now, Limey, so if you don't like it, then go back to England - a whole nation of people who foam at the mouth with pride and pleasure over their status as feudal _subjects_.
O.K. lets see if we brits were to offer you yankees the Windsors, plus an assortment of flunkies, corgies and stuff are you so sure that your people would reject it? After all someone sold you a bridge so it's not that implausible.
America didn't by the bridge; an American bought the bridge. It was purchased as a theme park attraction. I think the Windsors would make an excellent theme park attraction. We'll put them down the road from Graceland. You can go see the Queen after you've visted the King ... How much are you asking? (O.K. - how much minus the corgies?) - r.w.
