Look, 'dude', fuck off. I'm British, English in fact, and I do not attribute Britishness to a single factor. I'm not going to detail precisely what Britishness is, because it's very precisely too many things to detail. I'm not a monarchist (can't stress this enough) but the Royal Family are one aspect of Britishness that I happen to enjoy, in much the same way as your people enjoy that misanthrope parade you call 'Eastenders'. I also enjoy Morris dancing, conversations about the weather and whinging, or Eid in Easton, or Purim etc etc.
