I've heard the one about tourism before, but I still doubt it. I don't see how the royals attract tourists in any way.
The Monarchy is probably the biggest tourist attraction in the UK (and the UK practically lives on tourism)

Yes but its matter of opinion again . The money could go to the Government to invest in these things but you won’t see anyone from the government spreading awareness or actually working with the charities. But I’m going to stop here because it’s going off topic and I’m not really bothered in posting in this topic.
