How much of that pomp is responsible for horrible social policies and excessive taxes?

Prime Ministers and parliament are responsible for those things, not royalty. The Queen can't raise one penny of tax, nor can she order one soldier to battle. The Royal Family generates hundred of millions for the British economy every year, just in tourism.

ok, that is good. But the royalty can certainly raise a stink over failed social policy! If they had some real conservative courage...no?
