So true.
If you remove the monarchy, the system that it is the keystone of will not crumble overnight. It will, however, degrade over time. The removal of the structures e.g. titles, honours, etc. that the monarchy underwrites will eventually lead to a society where you progress more through your own efforts rather that the fortune (or otherwise) of your ancestors.
The other benefit is the decoupling of the church and state. Imposing a chosen theological norm on a modern democracy is so outdated.
