I'm glad you have a Queen. It's fun. You have the castles, and palaces, and events, and ceremonies. The tourists have something cool to go see.

When I went to Windsor, we went to the Windsor farm shop, and got butter and ice cream produced by Her Royal Highness's cows. So it's not like they don't do something to pull their own weight. And I bet they bring in way more money than they cost, just through tourism.

You have the royal parks you can stroll through. They are really nice.

It's not like she has any real power. If she tried to exert any real power, the government would eliminate her role.

But having said all that, I'm glad you have the queen, and we don't. Our identity is all wrapped up in throwing off the yoke of the crown.
