Having a Royal Family is like owning a really expensive breed of dog that only eats gold, can't do any tricks, has an expensive medical condition due to inbreeding, barks and growls at you when you approach and then shits all over your house... and then lives for centuries... Bless must be hard to heat all those different homes with the high price of energy...

@alanaw27 A) We still have to pay for the PM and politicians on top of that. B) The cost of the Royals is usually offset by the profits from the crown estate. But those profits do not belong to the Queen. Royalty costs tens of millions. The Crown Estate belongs to the state, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by their ascension to the throne. But it is not the private property of the monarch, it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch.
