Like smacw, I don’t get PEEDYC’s point: “I don't follow the logic. How does being born and raised in Scotland automatically make one a republican? They are the royal family of Great Britain.”

And of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the other Dominions of the Commonwealth.
While my father was a republican (who opposed the apartheid republic), I was influenced by my maternal grandparents, who were fanatically loyal to the royal family. I’m no fanatic, but I am proud of having been born a subject of King George VI and that Queen Elizabeth was South Africa’s head of state for an all-too-brief nine years.
My wife also came from a strongly royalist family. Our children are not so enthusiastic, however.
One significant benefit of the end of apartheid was our return (albeit as a republic) to the Commonwealth.
