Tradition. The Royal Family no longer have the power they once had in years gone by but are still there as tradition and symbolism.
And can I ask, why enter into a debate like this when you have no idea of the facts? If you needed an explanation you should have asked for it in the first place.

On another note, I'll be all for abolishment if Charles becomes King and takes that Camilla woman as Queen. lol
