Abolishing the Monarchy

Palaces, presents and pearls, is that really all that the Royal

Family's life involves? The Monarchy has ruled over our country for

over thousands of years, without them there would have been no

England. They are much loved by their kingdom's people but are they

really needed in the twenty first century? I am now going to examine

the reasons for not abolishing the Royal Family.

'No two days are ever the same for The Queen,' so what is it that she

does with all her time? The Queen has to perform many different duties

everyday. Some of these are familiar public duties, such as

investitures, ceremonial, receptions and visits. Away from the cameras

however The Queen's hard work goes on; including reading letters from

the public, audiences with political ministers and meetings with her

private secretary. A full day's work most days of the year. Some

members of the royal family have also started up charities and raised

huge amounts of money for children's societies and other good causes.

The royal family is famous not only in the United Kingdom but also

worldwide. They bring many tourists to England to see things like

Buckingham Palace, this brings countless sums of money to the country.

People respect and look up to them. Secondly they are also highly

valued for what they are, it makes our country who we are, it gives us

identity. They are good for the nationality of England, there were

thousands of people who turned out for the Queen's Jubilee. This

enhances our country's nationality to the rest of the world. They have

ruled over us for many years making them traditional and different

from other countries...

...est and affairs. The more distant members of the family also make

them seem less important, do you really care what the Queens cousin's

sisters aunt did last week?

Lastly The Queen does not have any political power any more, the

government and parliament do all the political jobs. The Queen must

remain disinterested in all matters.

In conclusion I think that in the twenty first century we don't need a

royal family. The main loss with out them would be the money loss of

which they bring in through tourism but we would gain the fifty

million pounds out of the taxes that goes to them. The palaces could

also be opened to the public, which would still bring tourism in,

maybe more? The reputation of the Royal family isn't what it used to

be, they have no political power any more and the country could do

without them.
