You gotta be kidding me. They appoint royalty based on their birthright and pay for their entire families extravagant lifestyle and security using the people's money in order to avoid rich people from being able to obtain high ranking positions? This seems counterproductive to say the least. Not to mention that the myth of a seat filler is based on the Monarchs not exercising their constitutional rights over the government and their SUBJECTS. Subjects.

Also the UK Prime Minister has a net worth of $850 million so that whole keeping the rich guy of the seat doen't seem to be working.
