Their role is purely representational and they basically serve as the glue that holds british society together. But, since british royalty was smart enough to gradually give up political power in order not to get their heads chopped off, the UK never really got rid of their class based society. The royal family basically occuipies the highest level of the inofficial british cast system, but their power is social rather than political.I still don't really get why the royal family exists over there when they have no actual political power... maybe one of the UK brehs can explain?
