The Queen

Don't get the tourism myth.

The royal family are disbanded tomorrow - would there be less visitors to London? Nope.

Do people still visit Paris even though France don't have a royal family? Yes, more than London.
 
Not for me, no justification for them to be in that position, they aren't elected & any true democracy wouldn't have them.

The first line eof the OPs post is no sense. Thiss thread will 100% turn into a pro/anti monarchy thread. I like the Queen, but the rest of them can fuck off.
Not bothered about the queen but I do like that Kate Middleton
I'll have Pippa.
 
Well that nice discussion lasted all of three posts. Has to be a record of some such that. Well done Bluemoon.

Bit harsh on the families just trying to make ends meet in the estate down the road from me


Just open up all their houses to the public ....people will still have their jobs and income coming in instead of out

As an American that has been to London a couple times. I can tell you that the Queen is likely not the reason for the visit for about 99.999% of us. Sure I did the tourist thing and went to see the Palace. However I only did it to see the changing of the guard. If there was no queen and they still did the ceremony bit, I doubt that attendance would drop much if at all. Look at the Tower of London and the key ceremony. Those are still huge draws just because of what they are and the pomp of it all.

If there is no Queen then there is no changing of the Guard, simples, the Royal Family bring Millions to the British Economy through tourism in many different ways. Still not a fan though.

I think those families have it hard enough trying to make ends meet without letting people wander around their houses. ;)
