A republic is not necessarily cheaper than a monarchy though.

There's plenty of other reasons to favour a republican system, but money is not as clear cut.

He even made the news here in NL, I honestly didn't even realise he was still around till this news came around. Though should have known, would have been all over national and international news if he had died.
