You don't understand it though do you? The Queen may cost us money, but she isn't that much of an expense when you break it down per person.
Also she's a massive source for tourism. Hell you yourself live in the US (?), and you lot went bananas over the royal wedding in April. You lot were worse than us most of the time in terms of the coverage. The amount of money the royal family attract in terms of tourists is very significant, and something that would probably diminish greatly should we abolish them.
Its a necessary evil in my opinion.
