Why does britian still have a royal family?

 

I thought you guys were all democratic and stuff now the Parliamentary System. What exactly does the Queen/Prince/etc. etc. do? Do they just sit there and collect public money? It seems like a drain on the economy to me.

a question i ask many of my countrymen and women, yet none of them have yet provided me with an answer that i deem acceptable.

the monarchy is antiquated, pointless, undemocratic and a waste of taxpayers money, i say were abolish the monarchy immediatley.

Running of Office of the President with his Executive Office (which is non electable, and creates a rift beetween Cabinet and Presidents Office) would cost tax payers much more money, and for the reasons i said above monarchy actually helps democratic system.
