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 :P . 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.

Ehh... I think the UK survives more on financial organizations than anything else. Anyway, I don't think it is necessary for the royals to continue to have a huge income or power to survive.

Of course the government wouldn't invest in the actual charities, but with the royals out of the way, more tax money could be invested for the good of all people- not just a bunch of bureaucrats who do jack shit.

Well, personally foreigners annoy me because I have a hard time understanding them a lot. It's almost impossible for me to understand latin, Indian accents. I went to McDonalds in atlanta georgia about 2 years ago. There was a mexican working at the register. She read me my order 3 times before I finally told her just to print me a recipte.
