[Stentor]

Maybe if you say that every dollar spent by every tourist is spent only because of the existence of the royal family. Otherwise, there would be no reason to visit, I suppose.

I was there in 92,93(2x),94(2x),95 and 98 as a tourist. haven't been back because of the condition of my wallet. After seeing the Tower of London, and Windsor Palace, I never thought about the Royals. It's just a great place to spend a vacation.

After seeing the Tower of London, and Windsor Palace, I never thought about the Royals. It's just a great place to spend a vacation.

Which could be seen whether or not Britain still had a monarchy today.

I have been a tourist there twice, and enjoyed my stay without seeing the royal family once. If Britain wants to pay them to be props, I really don't care. But they are the most expensive welfare family in the history of the world, and I think they are a huge bore.
