De l’apartheid à la nation arc-en-ciel, qu’en est-il de l’Afrique du Sud aujourd’hui?

But today’s royals are seen as nothing more than a set of figureheads, no longer in charge of a third of the world. Even the UK royal family website states, “The Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role.” However they must have their uses, or else there wouldn’t be a need to maintain them.
