The bigger problem in my mind is that so many of our prime ministers and other government ministers come from a very select elite background. But then America has this problem too, even though there is supposedly no class system in the US. For example, the concept of, and everything that's wrong with, the Bullingdon club at Oxford is interchangeable with the Skull and Bones club at Yale.
If you are looking for elitism in the British system then you are missing the point when you pick on the Royals. They are probably one of the better investments the government makes in boosting the tourism sector. As your comments demonstrate, lots of people around the world take them very seriously, a lot more seriously than British people typically do.
