I didn't pooh pooh anything, the information is out there about what the Royal Family brings to the country in tourism. I'm just not your secretary.

Yes, and I'm pointing out the father is probably far better informed and experienced in these matters and is probably right.No, I was answering the point the poster he made about the father being correct.

Never seen any reliable tourist research on the royal family. You pooh poohed my point, Google is your friend is no response.
TBF they ain’t coming for our weather or cuisine - they’re coming for our history and the royal family is a huge part of that.

They come for many reasons, I don’t know what the ratio of all the UK tourists are to London tourists, but those not going to London aren’t coming for anything much monarchy related, and even all London tourists won’t all be coming just for just that. I’m not even a republican but realise that.The history side would be there with or without a monarchy.TBF they ain’t coming for our weather or cuisine - they’re coming for our history and the royal family is a huge part of that.

Correct. See, for example, the Palace of Versailles.They come for many reasons, I don’t know what the ratio of all the UK tourists are to London tourists, but those not going to London aren’t coming for anything much monarchy related, and even all London tourists won’t all be coming just for just that. I’m not even a republican but realise that.The history side would be there with or without a monarchy.
Visit Britain, the body which collects tourism data, do not include the royals in their research.
