I think that the chat about whether they are value for money slightly misses the point. Hereditary monarchy is an anathema to an ideal of a meritocratic democracy, and its links to a theocracy are so antiquated and laughable as to be insulting.
I care not for a positive business case for the royals in the same way that I do not look for a net present value for paedophilia or racism.
Who cares if she costs the country money or not? She costs me money and I detest the existence of her role.
