It isn't so much important as to what she does but what she stands for. the history of the Country, her very presence somewhere or at an organised event has people charging all over and coming from all over the World just to be part of it, that brings in funds for retail businesses.

On her travels worldwide,her status increases, more often than not, the standing of the UK and also the image of the UK to other Nations.

It is though that in the UK we have a role for ahead of State,who is the seal on all Parliamentary bills,she has a job to do and a duty to perform that fully which she has done with unshaken devotion to that duty.

She also as I said above, also stands for continuity,representing a form of stability in that continuity in the duties she performs.
It is not about what she 'does' in the main but more as to what she 'is'. I for one am glad we have a Monarch and especially one like the current Queen.
