Sure it is. It's the price of admission for being an English citizen. Presumably, the English monarchy (and all of its traditions and over-the-top pagentry) is something that is fundamental and the core of its people's identity. I mean, does the US gov't sell tickets for the President's inauguration? Same reason.
