How do you folks in the UK feel about Royalty?

How do you folks in the UK feel about Royalty?
While watching the olympics I noticed that, on occasion, some member of royalty would be present. I also couldn't help but notice that during the opening and closing ceremonies the people making speeches addressed themselves to "Your Highnesses, distinguished guests.... etc."

This makes me wonder how the people in the UK feel about "Royalty". To my knowledge, they hold no political power. Why have a taxpayer supported privileged class that serves no useful purpose? Or do the royals serve a useful purpose? What is your opinion? Would the UK be better off without royalty? Or do you like the idea of kings, queens, princes, etc...?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
