The Monarchy doesn't rule the UK on a daily basis. The Queen gets briefings, but that's really all, or they would have many less problems than they do.
The Royals pay millions in taxes, draw in millions in tourism, sales taxes, and raise millions in charitable contributions. Without them, the IK would be much worse off than they are.
On the downside, imho, the UK is a socialist country (with really bad teeth) because the Queen can't rule as a Monarch.
Actually they pay almost nothing on taxes, are tax exempt, secretly amassed large amounts of wealth. The wealth projected on Rich lists for the Royals is £550M but this does not take into account all her assets and the pieces of land she owns across the World. They are actually worth trillions and pay a very small amount back into the British economy. If you added up all that you'd probably hit a number higher than the US budget deficit.
For instance were you aware that she still owns a large section of Canada and RENTS the land to them? She owns the Canadian military. She owns the Australian Military. In fact in the mid 70's she fired all of the Australian Parliament for shutting down the Government for a lack of a budget.
Don't underestimate her power just because she's a small Lizard in a throne.
They recently renovated the Palace for 1B estimated and it was probably more than that. A few years ago they said the audit of the Royal family was costing the British tax payer £32M that year. But another independent audit was done because this didn't include the upkeep of all their servants, their private army and other costs that they don't really declare it was actually closer to £200M.
It's actually astonishing how much the British public are not really aware of the scam that is the Royal family.
This Video is a little bit lengthy at over an hour and delves into some really nasty stuff like the murder of Princess Diana's boyfriend and of course her. It also goes into realms of conspiracy with Alex Jones at some points but most of it is actually factual and can be backed up with some independent research.
