They still have an important function and meaning for many people today. It just wouldn’t feel the same if there were no royal family. In addition to that, the queen has important formal duties.
●as head of the state, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK.
●as head of the armed force, only the Queen can declare when the UK is at war or when the war is over
●as head of the Church of England.
●The Queen has to read and sign the government documents(文件)every day. Not just the Queen, the royal families spend a great deal of their time traveling up and down the country in support of different charities.
