People always mention tourism when the role of the royal family is called into question. But they do much more than that, they are charity and arts patrons, they entertain diplomats and industrialists, bringing in business and trade and they are major employers. The queen is the head of the Commonwealth, the countries that used to be a part of the Empire but now choose to be a part of the Commonwealth. And sometimes people join even though they were never a part of the British empire.
