Depends on your country, my country was once a British Colony so we adopted their head. The Queen nowadays is just a symbol of England and it's power. She leaves the work to the Prime Ministers.

The fact that you are only 13 says it all. The Queen actually works harder than most people. She is 81 and Prince Philip is 86 but they cannot retire. The Queen provides continuity and stability for this country, which is more than we can say about our politicians.
Your best bet is to read up on this subject and you will learn a bit more.

All that B.E.C. states plus she is a good example to us all,
served her country (like the majority of the Royal Family) and have a sense of duty. Have a look at her fist speech, she classed it as a lifelong duty to serve this country to the best of her ability. I think they have done that and more, if only more of us could have the same sense of duty and patriotism it would be a better land. Sure she gets loads of dosh, but she also pay taxes and have no say in politics.
The time and effort she puts into her job is only surpassed by our servicemen like her son Andrew.
That's the trouble when you talk when you should listen. You only get part of the story.

Oh dear, another poor soul .. the Queen (assuming you mean Elizabeth 2) works, on average, 18 hours per day .. you can see her daily lists in the newspapers .. she works 28 days every month .. she has no paid holidays, she pays tax on her earnings and draws NOTHING from the public purse, despite idiots saying otherwise; her work, holidays and social life (???) are planned for her and she has little input .. her life is an organised form of servitude .. and the only people who really want rid of her are either journalists (the lowest form of life on Earth) or uneducated, brain\washed imbeciles who can't or wont see reality

Acts as our head of state, if we did not have her we would be forced to have a washed-up politician or some maniac despot. So on the whole she is pretty good at keeping self-serving politicos from the Westminster Village from lording it over us. Believe me they would love to, just look at those that have replaced priveleged classes they steadily go the same way, they cannot help themselves. We are proles and we need to have someone pushing us around, as any socialist experiment proves they all go wrong and create new class divides e.g. Chavez and Mugabe.

If you mean the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing could be further from the truth, the Queen has quite busy schedule meeting heads of State and captains of industry and charities. It maybe that the Queen no longer has the power once afforded to previous royals, but she is still our sovereign and a figurehead for our country.

I have never understood this obsession with royalty. They are not some divine species,just a family tree that bullied their way to the top many years ago in history.People bow and scrape to them daily,what a joke..

In addition to her constitutional duties, The Queen has an important role to play in public. A national figurehead, The Queen provides a focus for identity, offers recognition of achievement of all kinds, and supports the ideals of public and charitable work.
Her Majesty acts a focus for national unity and pride by means of regular visits in the UK, her other realms, the Commonwealth and overseas destinations. The Queen is supported by other members of the Royal Family, who also carry out thousands of visits each year.
The Queen recognises excellence and achievement. This takes place in many ways: through Royal visits which provide a 'seal of approval' to a charity or community; through the award of honours and prizes to outstanding individuals; and through messages sent to those celebrating special birthdays or wedding anniversaries.
The Queen and the Royal Family also play an important part in the public and voluntary sector. Through involvement with hundreds of charities, military units and other organisations, they promote the ideal of service to others.

Her Majesty is the Head of State, and Head of the Church of England and meets with various foreign heads of state and dignitaries. She also meets regularly with the Prime Minister as, fortunately, church and state are still separate and always may they remain so. Your 'question' indicates you have no understanding of the work the Queen does, perhaps some research might enlighten you.

I think the queen and her dis-functional family are a total waste of tax payers money.
