It's because they impress other countries, not because they impress us. The monarchy make damn sure they don't say a thing about political parties/ideologies.

They piss around in a sort of political no-mans land, promoting pseudo science, and fund raise by waving on foreign trips.


The monarchy has no political say in this country. The queen is the head of state, so as such, she has to remain impartial in all political matters, because she represents all of our interests on missions abroad, not those of a specific ruling party.
