Until then she and her lot are just parasites.
That's never going to happpen though, is it? She can't help being born into her role, a role she never would have had to take if her uncle hadn't abdicated. She's always done her best. She's never going to have to queue for her pension or wait for a hospital appointment like us because she's the Queen and she's never experienced poverty but she can't help that.

Poverty is hard work and the Queen has her every need catered for so she wouldn't know much about that but that doesn't mean that she doesn't work hard as Head of State with her engagements, meetings etc.
