I've certainly heard the proposal of making one of the younger Windsor princes our personal monarch. I don't see much need for it; I like our usage of the English royal family as it is, which has historical resonance and doesn't cause us much trouble.
Put another way: as I see it, the advantage of having a Queen - and I am a devout monarchist - is in its connection to our history as a nation, and to have an impartial, non-partisan figurehead.
Best to keep such a person, but to keep him or her at a distance.
