I think the political neutrality of the monarchy is underrated. Yes, we can argue about the pedantic details of whether the King is truly 100% "neutral" on every issue, and the continued existence of the monarchy of itself is a political question, but the fact is that the monarch stays out of politics: from Brexit to Scottish independence to inflation to the small boats crisis to the NHS, the King doesn't tell us his opinion and he keeps his nose out of things. Which is great! There's enormous value in having a ceremonial national institution which isn't politicised and doesn't split opinion along the typical partisan lines. It's a part of our national identity, something that we all have in common, something that unites us - and in these polarised times we desperately need more things that unite us. If we replace the monarch with an elected head of state, even a "powerless" and "ceremonial" one, there's no way it won't lead to more polarisation and division. The other good argument I've heard for keeping the monarchy is that abolishing the monarchy means rewriting the British constitution from the ground up. You can be sure that whichever party is in power will take this opportunity to subtly tweak things to favour themselves. Do you trust them to do it fairly? Better the devil you know.
