The people of Britain continue have a monarch because of tradition. There is a small republican movement, but the vast majority of people in the United Kingdom appear to be quite content with having a constitutional monarchy i.e. one in which the monarch is the figurehead and the exercise of political and judicial power rests with politicians and judges respectively.

Nowadays, the British royal family has become a worship of many of its people though it doesn't have much real power politically . However, once it is abolished, the whole country will become disordered, with many people confusing and worrying, which will definitely harm the stability of the country. After all , they have been in such a system for so many years and it isn't easy for them to change it in a short time.

Because the English people still want the Monarchy. They are proud of their history and the ancestry of the royal family.

They used to rule the country but now just act as more of an Icon, and by the way it's not just "England" who has a Monarch, its the same Monarch for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

England has been a monarchy since the 8th century. It is a tradition that has endured to this day, though with many changes.

Most, though not all, are proud of the tradition.

Who was the last monarch to rule England?

The Kingdoms of Scotland and England were united in 1707. The monarch on the throne at that time was Queen Anne who was "Queen Anne of England, Scotland and Ireland" before the union and "Queen of Great Britain" afterwards (she also held the titles "Queen of Ireland" and "Queen of France".Therefore Queen Anne was the last Queen of England, the last Queen of Scots and the first Queen of Great Britain.Some incorrectly think that Elizabeth I of England and Ireland was the last monarch of England because after her death she was succeeded by James who became James I of England having already been James VI of Scots. James was still the monarch of the Kingdom of England and the fact that he was already King of Scots does not change that fact (and why should it? - Elizabeth was the monarch of England and Ireland so she was still the monarch of England). England and Scotland were still separate kingdoms regardless of the fact that they shared a monarch. James VI and I attempted to proclaim himself "King of Great Britain in 1604" but his proclamation was not accepted by any parliament (if it had been then he could arguably have been the last monarch of England). As it was Great Britain did not become a state until 1707.The last monarch to rule England and no other kingdom was Henry VIII of England who later became King of Ireland.The last monarch to rule England and only ever England and no other kingdom was Henry VII although he was "Lord of Ireland". The last English monarch to not be "Lord of Ireland" before him was Stephen.Note that William III of England and Ireland took the throne of those countries on 13th February 1689 but was not the King of Scots (as William II) until 11th May 1689 demonstrating that the Scottish Parliament was separate to that of England and that the rules of succession of Scotland and England were different.Similarly the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland no longer existed after the union so there has been no monarch of England since.
