"The annual cost per person in the country in funding the head of state amounts to 62p. This is the annual cost, not the daily, weekly or monthly cost. The total cost of the monarchy is lower in real terms than it was in 2001. Given this is a World Cup year, 62p would buy you a ticket for one minute of England's game against Portugal on Saturday."
I had doubts about any monarchy but given the calibre of politicians around the world maybe it is not such a bad idea.
After all 62p is a bargain, my water bill comes to about £260 a year, tv licence is about £110 and so on.
For this fiver you can have the Queen for 8 years.
