Throughout history, British royalty and politics have been closely intertwined: the monarch led soldiers into battle, secured alliances with other countries and sometimes found themselves at loggerheads with parliament. But, after centuries of evolution, they now embody a combination of head of state, international diplomat and celebrity. So why are they still important? What would the UK look like without them? And have Brits always cared this much about what they get up to?
