They really are just pointless. My Grandma and her generation are all deeply patriotic, and that's ok I suppose, it's how they've been brought up, but nowadays, children are being brought up to think otherwise. They're not going to last long, Prince Charles might as well just abdicate and get rid of the throne. It's not as if they have any power anyway, I mean, officailly they can dismiss parliment, but they can't really, think of the up roar! Well, the governemt are fairly crap anyway, but that's beside the point.
They aren't pointless at all, their charity work alone attests to that. This is before you examine their essential role within the constitutional working of the political system here in the UK.
In any case, if it is not enough to keep them because the older generation like them, is it right to get rid of them because some of the younger generation don't?
Especially when generally speaking, the most informed like them, and the least informed dislike them.

Yeah, but you have to admit, they are fairly pointless. Ok, yeah, they do do alot for charity, the Prince's Trust and all, but honestly, at the end of the day, they aren't really doing that much. And I'm fairly informed about them, and I still dislike them, well not dislike them as such, just don't give a damn. Whether they stay or go, it doesn't bother me.
