The Royal Family are irrelevant in the modern era

I'd prefer there to be an official head of state then letting someone like David Cameron being the all out leader of our nation. The event is also not being paid for only by British Tax payers. The Royal Family themselves are paying for everything except security and road closures (stuff like that). Wedding and Reception is being paid for by the Royals. Yes you may argue that we pay them but they get neglegible amount compared to what we just put into our banking system, infact they took less last year and probably bring in more in Tourism and the Royals help and give huge amounts to charity every year as well as employ hundreds of people.

Question: Where do they get their money in the first place?

I did mention the fact we pay them in my original post ("Yes you may argue that we pay them but"). Okay so maybe didn't stand out as much as I wanted but I'll still happily give my few pence a year to keep hundreds of people in employment and lets them give millions to charity every year.

I think such individuals have no place in a modern democratic society, and if they want money they should work for it, just like everyone else.
