Accession law would require each nation to take at least one member of the Royal family. No exceptions.

Americans, for some reason, are suckers for the Royals. We'd lap it up (I think. Maybe not - maybe they're only cool when they're YOUR problem).

Yeah, ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Furher!
We could do some "simple" things like moving to a common currency, joint citizenship, one armed forces with a joint, joint chiefs, common laws - for example, for patents, trademarks and copyrights, a common court system and one Supreme Court with members appointed by the respective states according to population, etc., etc., etc.
Piece of cake, right?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

I think we've done very well out of europe and don't need to go back to the 'anglo empire' with thier slower rise in living standards.
Our income was stuck at around 2/3rds of the US level from the end of the second world war until we joined the EU, now it's 3/4trs.
Indeed Britian (and Ireland) are the only 'anglo' nations that have actually seen a faster underlying rise in living standards than the EU average.19th Century Liberal, 21st Century EuropeanComment

As to the Royals and other nobles, their titles could be honorary only - but isn't that the way it is now anyway? Other than that, they should have no official governmental function. No being head of the Church. No House of Lords.
I actually think many in England would welcome this "reform."http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Arguing for/against British withdrawal from the EU is definitely a possibility. Unit 4's all about the EU."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

If GB, Austrailia, Canada, and NZ really wanted a say in US forign policy...how could they resist this offer?
I believe that the EU was formed to counter-balance US economic power. If they lose GB and this "Anglo-Empire" were to come into being then the EU as a whole could become beholden to Anglo economic policy."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment
