It's good to have someone like The Queen as an ambassador without the same political attachment that the Prime Minister has. Because they are not representative of any particular party, but the country in general, and basically serve to promote the culture of Britain around the world, they are useful to have. They are also a major tourist attraction.
That being said, I see no reason why the overall cost of the monarchy can't be gradually reduced over the years. Perhaps they should favour a donation scheme whereby those who really want to maintain the monarchy donate some money, those that aren't so keen can simply opt out / not opt in.
It is important to me though, if there is no King or Queen in the future, that there is at least an impartial ambassador without attachment to any one party, but to the UK as a whole, who can serve as a positive, peaceful 'face' or brand, promoting our ideals and strengthening bonds between our nation others through something that ISN'T a trade deal or war.
Will the english monarchy be disbanded after Queen Elizabeth II dies?
