Not to all foreigners.  Chicago also has a parade for the queens.

Mmmmmmmm, turkey.


This thread should get an award for going so far off topic.

As for the original intent.  Sad news of course when any innocent civilians are killed. 
Royal families don't make too much sense to me either being from a democratic nation in which we choose our leader...  But if it works for you I'm not going to bash it.

Geez, do I really have to explain how a modern-day kingdom works ?
Do they actually teach _anything_ about other countries over there ?

The king/queen in our country only has a ceremonial role. He/She has _nothing_ to say about how the country is run. We have a democraticaly elected government with a prime-minister.
