People are not looking at the big picture here, so it cost 36 million. But you will probably find they generate more then that for our economy from when they make visits to other countries, the royal family generates a lot of trade and of course the tourism aspect. If you have any respect for our country and its history you would also want to keep the monarch for that reason alone. 36 million in todays day and age is nothing, I can think of a lot more things where more money was spent and its considered wasted like the £500 for every new born child, the millions going to africa countries, the iraqi war, nhs beauracracy, and housing immigrants.
