Despite costing taxpayers around £40 million every year, the royal family has consistently forfeited the profits garnered from the land they own — revenue that amounts to about*"); £200 million*every year. This means that simply letting the Queen stay in Buckingham Palace earns the UK £160 million every year.

On top of that, tourists flock to a country that still has living monarchs, earning the UK about £7 billion in annual revenue.

Queen Elizabeth II certainly doesn’t rule with the iron fist of her distant ancestors, but she definitely isn’t worthless. Even if many of the duties granted to her in the royal prerogative don’t amount to much, those in power still listen closely to her opinion and she’s adored by a vast majority of her subjects.
The Queen also has a special relationship with the Prime Minister, retaining the right to appoint and also meeting with him or her on a regular basis.
She may not have much power, but she sure is powerful.

Like crime in a multistorey car park, wrong on so many levels.

Wrong in your eyes (free country, so no argument on your opinion) but a fact nonetheless.

Fair 'nuff. Perception is reality in the eye of the watcher.

You see? That didn't hurt, did it?

Hello earth to solly
On what planet are you presently residing ?

I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side. I've asked for them to be replaced but no one ever listens.

(Apologies to the late great Douglas Adams)

Yes, that seems to be your fate. You're doomed bro.
