Dons_1988 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 We should also appreciate that the Royal Family is responsible for lots of tourists coming here. After all, France does not have a king or queen and does Paris get lots of tourists - I ask you. Uh oh. Maybe somebody can explain this better than me. I think you’ll find the queen generates 20m a year in tourism and we’d be sleeping on the streets like in Dublin without her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The old argument that the Monarchy brings and abundance of tourists to offset the monarchial costs is absolute tosh. Buckingham Palace official visitor figures were 513,000 last year. The Tower of London saw 2,894.000 visitors. Giving a total to the two main royal establishments of 3,407.000. In comparison Paris with no monarchy had the following visitor attendances; The Louvre had 9,334,000 visitors. The Palace of Versaille had 7,527,000 visitors, Giving Paris a total of 16,861,000 visitors in one year, thats around 12 million more visitors visiting a city that has no monarch. As I posted earlier the Queens income last year was just under £100 million, and then you have Charlie's income from the Duchy of Cornwall which also runs into millions, so from that it would appear that their income outweighs the income from tourism. Time for a change n'est pas? I think not. We would all be living on 10 pound giro, don't you know. Same as Ireland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
