i understand that the royal family is a big part of British society but they don't do much and are almost props which are just 'there'.

It brings in more money than we spend on it + tourism. It is a great representation of the UK's culture and traditions. God save the Queen!!

Loathe inherited privilege of every type. Why should any human life be held as more valuable than another?
