Since, in the event of a change of government. It will not affect the stability of the country.
>The monarch, however, may be a possible final control, in the case that the current government takes a dictatorial stance. Also the monarch may not give his royal assent to a bill, proposed and passed by Parliament.
>Finally, the Monarch is a symbolic and representative figure of the country, (Queen Elizabeth II) she must fulfill the ceremonial duties that heads of state often spend their time. The government then has more time to run the country.]]> 2020-09-17 03:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/silvananieva96/g4h6c4lx0iamng2h/wish/753988948 The Beatles silvananieva96 https://padlet.com/silvananieva96/g4h6c4lx0iamng2h/wish/755169361 "The Beattles, is a recognized British rock group, from the early 60's.

However, there is much debate about what kind of monarchy Britain should have. Because since the reign of Queen Victoria, the public has looked to the royal family as a model of Christian family life. But that image of the "model family" changed over time, due to the various marriage scandals of the crown. And one of the mistakes that almost left the Queen with a bad image for her people was in 1992, when a fire damaged Windsor Castle, (one of the Queen's favourite houses), but, the mistake was when the government announced that public money was going to pay for the repairs, sympathy quickly turned into anger.

The Queen is greatly admired, respected. But she put that sympathy at risk, so The Queen, aware of the public opinion of her people, forced her to decide that she would start paying taxes on her private income, and some members of the royal family were removed from the Civil List. In addition, to make parts of the public places to encourage tourism.

Well, the British royal family and the events and buildings associated with the monarchy help the tourism industry, or exactly how much money they help bring into the country, but most people who work in tourism think it's a lot.
