Your mind seems to be stuck on a tautology. Those things you list are a part of democracy, not a result of retaining a royal family. Stephen Fry once uttered that very line about democratic countries/monarch countries...as a parody/irony of sort. Then a lot of people take it as a rational argumentative statement, and repeat it everywhere. It is only an irony of the world we live in. It is in no way related to the actual workings of the democracy.
