Isn't it a bit absurd to declare symbolism will be their downfall in describing an event where you have zero idea of what the symbolism actually means? It's not like they're parading some goat skull about or anything.
Yea, and considering that at this point the UK royal family is pretty much purely symbolic, it's not surprising that they and anyone associated with them are steeped in symbolism. If they didn't employ symbolism, they'd basically be no different from any other random family.
And as you insinuate, there is nothing inherently wrong with symbolism. It ultimately depends on what is being symbolized.
Exactly the Royals hold a lot of power, especially in the House of Lords. America has Congress and Senate. Each of them being people that are voted in.
But n Britain our Senate (Lords) were all selected by the Monarch, so when a law is passed from Parliament to Lords (congress to senate) to get passed as a law it goes into the Monarchs 'Yes' men jurisdiction.
Meaning the monarch still has somewhat absolute control. If a Lord does not do what he wants he can simply remove them.

If they were symbolic, the PM wouldn't have to go to the palace with a report once a week.
Parliament belongs to the Monarchy.
