The returns from the diplomatic work the royal family do at home and abroad is incalculable. They also employ a huge amount of people. And what about the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme and the Prince's Trust? Both really valuable contributions to the welfare of young people. They are so much more valuable to the country than just the pageantry, pump and circumstance (which we do better than anyone). If people want to live in a republic, there are loads to choose from... pick one.
