I can accept that a monarchy could reasonably be considered an outdated concept where the 'structural' extravagances could be better used in more tangible and beneficial ways. However, the evidence is that those who live under a constitutional monarchy are no worse off than those who have a Republic (of any kind). As far as the work members of the Royal family do, it appears to be a life of servitude rather than flamboyance. Whilst they don't have any direct functionality , their benefit seems to be akin to someone who runs across a continent to raise money for charity. The running itself does nothing, but just the fact that it's done brings people together to ensure the desired outcome.
