Neither have I, but a lot of people do and would. Some men like wearing jerseys too..
I will be honest though, closest I came to maybe trying to get a picture with (as an adult) was Evander Holyfield in 2009. Was at MSY airport, kinda late and wasnt crowded. Maybe could have got a small conversation with him, good setting. In a hurry while walking by torwards my gate, i figured on 3 things we could talk about as strangers: olympics, tyson or jesus. So, I just nodded and kept walking.
And at that time of day, he must have had on a $10,000 suit. Not counting the shoes.

Can you explain how the current system with the Windsor family is oppressive?
The general public work their asses off to pay taxes that support the royal families lavish lifestyles. This isn't a choice, but a requirement by law. They refer to it as a 'Sovereign Grant'. This money could be much better spent elsewhere in communities. They are useless and a complete drain on society.
Similar to our politicians here in America

You appear to not understand how it works, the British royal family is paid from the revenue the crown estate generates. In fact they’re no different than executives for a corporation which is literally what the crown estates is these days with the shareholders being the British population. The revenue generated goes to their (population) benefit.

Actually, it's so 1720. It's a giant fail that royal families are still a thing, this many centuries after the American & French Revolutions.

They are the biggest tourist draw in the UK. That's how their lifestyle is paid for.
