That is what annoyed me a little by people saying that the Queen was a constant.  Who cares if we have the same Queen, if everything else changes?  The Royal Family is not Britain, or the UK, or the Commonwealth.  This is what I don't like about the Monarchs, they don't care who they rule over, as long as they rule.  In this sense, the Royal Family failed Britain and the fact they just sat by and worried about the continuation of their own legacy is a bit of an indictment.
