The level of idiocy and hipocracy in this thread is amazing. Here I was thinking gamers were an educated bunched who would keep their mouths shut rather than spout uninformed opinions and incorrect facts. Afterall we get pissed off at the media for making incorrect assumptions about video games don't we? So why are we doing that here? I just don't understand that. I don't support the Royal Family persay, but here are some facts:
Queen does have power. She is the Soverign who signs our laws (statutes) making them into laws and she rules in right of Paliament. She is a key component in the Statute of the limitations of powers and provides balance between the Legislature (house of commons and house of lords), The Exexcutive (Prime Minister and Cabinet) and the Judiciary (The judges and legal systems). This means no one system can become 'too powerful'
They provide a massive tourism boost + income
They are important with regard to foreign relations e.g. with foriegn leaders, diplomates and other royal families e.g. those in the middle east etc
