You will always have some people demanding they be stripped of everything, but that should be outweiged as long as the Monarchy does bring in tourism etc.

Personally I would like to see them pass comments on what the government are doing in their name sometimes.
Well of course they are only able to that in the most coded terms, and do we really want them involved in politics, I mean it is a very sordid and disgusting business. Better leave the queen as a widely respected and much loved figurehead whom the nation can rally around as opposed to geeting involved in areas of division.
