There are plenty of good reasons for abolishing the monarchy but this is not one of them.
You mention France(probably the worst example you could make) who changed things 200+ years ago and the Palace of Versailles is one of their top tourist attractions.
Whatever anyone's take on the royals,they do interest tourists and it does bring in revenue,not that this is a justification for continuing to have them.

The only real reason for having them is if the monarchy is abolished you arseholes in the UK will be voting Ant and Dec for president. You know it's true.

At best it would be just another layer of incompetent politicians. Two layers is enough for me.

Then again, I don't live there so it's nothing to do with me. Just be careful what you wish for and think it through properly first.

So how does France attract more tourists than the UK?

Because people are allowed IN to the Palace of Versailles. Can you imagine how many more tourists the UK would get, and the extra revenue, if the monarchy was abolished and people were allowed to traipse through Buckingham Palace, Holyrood and Windsor?
 
It would be nice if we could hold off on spouting the usual toxic bile about Liverpool supporters, and instead take a moment, this afternoon of 6th May 2023, to appreciate an truly momentous occasion which the world hasn't seen for generations:

In a country that has lost its mind, scousers will actually appear to be the most sane

One for the history books!
Fuck the victim dippers today and every day.

Thanks.

Seriously? Anyway, that isn't the question. The question is if there would be more or less tourism to the UK if there was no royal family. I don't know the answer and I don't really care.

But why does France attract more tourists than the UK? Come on .....

Indeed, our democracy functions relatively well without major constitutional issues.
A different set up such as a president would bring its own problems.
I'd still consider a pissed up Ant as a improvement against a touchy feely senile old coffin dodger.

Indeed,their popularity is clearly enduring.
"Off with their heads"

In our current system we have no need for any politicians to replace the monarchy.

We'd need to tweak a few things, but we don't need a president to replace them.

I’Ve been through Buck Palace and Windsor…
They are open to the public, as is Holyrood.
