Let alone the fact that our monarch isn't even an Aussie. I find it quite insulting to be honest.

Do they end up costing you any money or are they just useless... and what in the world is even the thought process behind keeping a foreign figurehead ruler?

It works out to something like 60p a year for each tax paying citizen of the UK to keep the monarchy, or something like that anyway.

Well I meant Australia... I know about the costs and benefits UK wise... royal land holdings and all that.

You'd figure the commonwealths would pay nothing, or else they would raise more of a stink about it?

I was wondering more if there were like "Royal Estates" or anything kept up.  Or like "Monarch Day" holidays or some such.
