In terms of religion, there is a definite connection there.
In my family growing up, we'd always joke about watching the Queen's speech at Christmas. It was never said as a joke, it didn't need to be because the idea of sitting down and subjecting ourselves to some pompous long winded parasite lecturing to us for however long it lasts was ludicrous. I never actually saw the Queen's speech for years.
And then my born again Christian brother married a Christian woman. She watches the Queen's speech and laps up the whole Christian message. She sits in front of the TV while we're cleaning up the table or going off and doing other stuff.
The royal family, like religion is a form of social control.
