Limits on Monarchical Power

What if you are British royalty but you hate the sound of bagpipes? There must be at least one prince or princess that despises the cacophony those "instruments" make, so I'm sure if they could get rid of them, they would have done so by now. I guess it's sort of like how God gave Americans enough money to do whatever they wanted then made them too fat to get off the couch.

Now that I think about it, aren't bagpipes a Scottish instrument? In that case, why are they always blaring near English royalty? The screeching must be karmic payback for centuries of colonial oppression. Or maybe tea-and-scones is not an instrument and there wasn't much else in English culture to draw from.
