Yes, and, no.
The answer is you don’t really know.
They personally contributed massive amounts to the wedding, as well as many tourists coming over and spending cash. The tax payer does contribute money in but only last year an independent firm calculated they directly brought in £1.25bn worth of revenue into the UK, far more than anyone imagined and far more than it cost the tax payer.
£1 a year it costs each of us and its very much worth it both from a revenue generator and to continue British tradition.

No it isn't.
They move into a house in the grounds of kensington palace. A house which the queen is given taxpayers money to maintain. That way MM gets to keep the 1.6m she got from selling her own house. Nice work if you can get it.

That wasn’t your original point though is it?
As I’ve said regardless of what they get via the taxpayer to maintain the house, it seems to be worth more for the country to have them than not.
You simply don’t like them because of what they stand for because you’re a Republican.

I'd be very surprised, but very pleased, if any independent firm of accountants that wished to remain in business would come up with any other conclusion

No they don't...... its the buildings, associated events such as changing of the guard and the lands that attract tourists. Look at France they haven't had a royal family since the revolution yet the Palace of Versaille brings in a fortune (despite entry being free)
