"it isn't like that however in practice this has all kinds of real effects and these will remain as long as Royalty is not formally abolished."
Yeah, because countries following "the modern theory" are doing so much better than countries with a Royalty.
In practice, it makes no significant difference, governments can and do have lavish expenses and luxury. So it's not like not having a monarchy is saving them any significant amount of money
"another is the fact that people of 'royal blood' are to some extent above the law. And are protected in ways that no commoner would ever be protected."
Oh you mean like diplomats or a president? I'm sure the POTUS is the most protected human being on the planet way more than any king or queen
"On top of that it is still hereditary rule, you may be Knighted but your children will never accidentally be born King or Queen"
Knighthood is not hereditary and even you're "royal blood" tough chance being born King or Queen (if not altogether impossible, but I'm not sure about that)
