The royal family brings in a net positive amount of revenue of you account for receipts from added tourism and spending. The expenses for shipping around the US President for example is another story.
No freaking way they’re a net positive.
How do they know what % tourists are there because of the royal family?
I can't speak for other tourists, but I don't need the royals to actually still exist to be interested in seeing their accoutrements strewn about museums and to walk through their former palaces to admire the woodworking and gilding.
