Keep it of course...
"Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom.
In a monarchy a king or queen is Head of State. The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Queen is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although the British Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation.
As Head of State, The Queen undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Queen has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. She acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of public and voluntary service.
In all these roles The Queen is supported by members of her immediate family."

It should be kept.
I personally do not like prince Charles and his whore, Camelot.
But the monarchy points to a king we all need a king. Jesus is a King and we need an earthly example.
that is my answer and I am sticking to it..
Charles had Dianna killed because she was with a moslim, and to have the future king of England with a moslim step father was not on in British terms.

Keep It! It is part of what draws so many tourist to Britian. The Queen has no real power, but she draws a lot of people to go there. Wait till William is King.

Pay attention to history, and keep that which is true and good. Get rid of falsity in any form. It does not require a further answer.
