As an Englishman, I'm currently in mourning for my Queen. 70 years as monarch. That's pretty incredible. I'm a royalist. I didn't used to be. God bless you, Ma'am
Rest in Peace, Your Majesty

I dont understand British royals and their purpose .
Can someone explain it to me in terms so a non-English person can understand?
Is it like food preference or something? Like … you like oranges and I like apples?
the royals are family lines that have been kings and queens of england for 100's of years.
they are now mostly symbolic, but still have certain powers they can use for government.
If you read the Bible, it talks about the origins of kings (and queens) also, if you understand who Jesus is, you might have some idea what it means, what a royal lineage is and why people asked for a King or a man to rule over them instead of God. Many countries still have monarchies.
And no, Jesus is not like a Hollywood celeb. He was not famous for being famous or acting a part on a screen.

Royals in England can recievd much more media attention than hollywood celebs do but it is because they have royals duties. They are not actors in the sense they can pretend. They have to live their life in the public serving their subjects. They have incredible wealth that they need to put to good use, often supoorting charities and initiatives that imorove the lives of those living in their lands. They have military. Most of the administration and running of the country they delegate to members of parliament, who have their own politics but royals are meant to be impartial and above that.
Also royals in England are connected to the Church of England, the monarch being the nominal head. It is kind of like the Popes in catholicism but not exaclty the same. Yes some people do get carried away and worship royalty. They are not meant to be idolised though. They are however, funded by taxes.
It is a strange thing to get your head around but people dont vote for them like they do a president.

Also the Queens head is on many currencies (money) but now with crytpocurency etc things have changed.
Jesus said when shown a coin with Caesars head on it that we are to give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is Gods.
Also when Jesus was offered all the kingdoms of the world by Satan if he would bow down and worship him guess what he refused.
Not all monarchs were christians, we are just blessed that Queen Elizabeth 2 was and it showed in her life. With King Charles, I saw that he had taken an oath to do with Protestant faith and the United Kingdom meaning the church of Engaland and the Church of Scotland combined (presbyterian) he is the defender of the Faith. That is one of the duties of the British royals. This goes back to the time of King James...where we get the English version of the Bible from.
