”
No no no
You’ve misunderstood. British tourism organisation said about the royal family, not British tourism generally ( not the organisation) , they generate 500 million annually. A royal wedding is a small price to pay.
Having had to rely on the welfare system a couple of times following redundancy, picking up benefits that didn't even cover my rent, I'd be happy to see some more money going into a system to support people when support is needed.
As for "hating" the royal family? Naw, I just don't see the point in them, and I think the class system they perpetuate is damaging. For as long as people in the UK are still living in poverty, I will always oppose the celebration of a privileged institution that represents everything that is wrong with the class system in this country. You can be a patriotic British person and still acknowledge the very real flaws in our civic structure.
Saying people visit the UK for the royal family is like saying people visit Rome for the emperors.

Rubbish. Read the research properly. Not one penny can be directly attributed to the individuals in the royal family. Sure there’s some like for yesterday as I said. But that’s it.
The rest is from tourism such as our history and assets. Which would all still be there if there was no royal family.
And they cost us circa £450m in tax payers money all of which is for the individuals and their upkeep.
End of.
I like them
And the class system gives people something to aspire to
Their may be flaws in the system but generally only seen by folk looking up
Those looking down are fine for the most part.
God Bless The Queen and her family.
I’ve read the research. It’s what I’m basing my opinion on.
I’m not going to waste my day arguing with people arguing the research I’ve read by telling me to read the research

Personally I object to the ones that are barely ahead of my in the line of succession getting handouts. Slight exaggeration I know but I'd prefer that the money used is only spent on a tiny amount of them.

Fine. But it’s abundantly clear that if you’ve read it then you’ve not understood it.
So either provide something that backs up your original claim in that the royal family brings in these fictitious and mythological multi millions or your argument is just plain wrong.

But then me and the new father in law would be off in the helicopter going from golf course to golf course spending all that nice tax payers money.
And obviously even more money would be made for the country from the millions of extra tourists that would come just to see the Duke who became a Prince
