I think all the pomp and ceremony is ridiculous. Herand her entourage are just a drain, we would have tourists without her.
TBH, most of the Royal Family's money and property were taken by the government a long time ago. They're very much a business now and are required to pay taxes. The money they give back to the state outweigh the money they take from it. And I'm pretty sure the American taxpayers pay much more towards the expenses of their First families than we do for the Royals.
