Somehow I don't see the present Queen, or Charles, or William, or even little George (although I gather he is pretty upfront about grabbing toys in nursery) doing anything like that.

I am glad she's still there too. If she's still there a year from now - 10 September 2015 - she edges out her great-great-grandmother to become Britain's longest serving monarch.

Being a subject of Her Majesty doesn't necessarily allow you access to this place. I am Australian. We also have the queen as our head of state, but I am here under sufferance, in the form of a permanent resident's visa. Otherwise, as a visitor to these shores, you get a limited stay and no working privileges.

The Scots, as citizens of another Commonwealth country, would presumably have the same issues. I expect they would end up with more privileges to avoid the sort of mess Dr Shoe describes, but that would have to be thrashed out over time. It could be quite interesting...

Quite a few EU governments would be opposed to having Scotland join as that would appear to be giving encouragement to their own independence-seeking regions.

Could be quite a big mess, really.

Clockwork Orange

Of course Peru and Mexico also had monarchies of their own long before the emissaries of the European ones arrived. Monarchies in and of themselves are not necessarily bad things. It is the calibre of person on the throne. Just as it is the calibre of person voted into office.
