Only a ceremonial one. All the royal family do is go around cutting ribbons, representing some charities, ~~raping kids~~, and getting harassed by tabloid media.

The US looks far more like the old fashioned monarchies these days with the billionaires ruling the country without the law applying to them.

A "ceremonial" one that still takes taxes, influences policy, can and does appoint and remove officials, has veto powers, and is above the law unless the chief inbred agrees otherwise.

But they're not rude about it so the more gullible peasants pretend they're just some vestigial organ that somehow also can't be removed.
