We would be a sadder, drabber more boring country without them. A loss of pleasure to millions.
A loss of tourist income.
We would gain nothing as a country.

Why, because they don't have anything like it, they come to bow and scrape, every one since Trueman.

Didn't someone do a "fact check" that found the royals "real" cost when offset with the tourism they allegedly attract was trivial at best?

I already said that once evicted they can sign multi million pound deals with the likes of Netflix so people like yourself can still get their fill.

Guys, just did a bit of research and the Royal family cost us £350m a year. So when you consider that we send £350m to the EU every week then, that's nothing. We could have 51 more Royal families now we're out of the EU.

Hating on the monarchy is such an easy thing to do. We all know the reasons against having a monarchy.
But the Queen contributes an awful lot to charities and the tradition factor is important to a lot of people. I for one, don’t want our country to end up like some bland, indistinguishable, unidentifiable mess.
Many other countries have monarchies and I doubt any of them moan about their monarchies as much as we do. A large minority of us are so unpatriotic and hateful of our country, its history and its traditions.
It’s very strange when you think about it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blind, uncritical conformity to “traditions” and “patriotism” (a made-up, nonsensical idea used propagandistically that only the brain-dead buy into) is what’s strange.
As for being “hateful” of history & traditions... Surely there are aspects of our history - including ongoing aspects - that you hate, too? You wouldn’t be so blind as to defend terrible things simply because they have been done by the state on the piece of rock in the ocean on a planet floating around the sun in outer space that you - by pure happenstance beyond your control - were born onto? Because that would be REALLY weird.

And they are unpopular among certain people, but less of them. Your idea of Netflix is of course daft. You are perfectly in order to ignore them, and just think what they bring to the country in gaiety and income.
For some reason republicans are nearly always sad or angry people in my experience

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the slave trade or the arms industry? If we defended the existence of industry or institutions purely on financial grounds, well... I think my two examples more than make the point.
As for tourism... People don’t actually get to see & meet the Royals when they come and take a photo of Buckingham Palace. They can still come and take their photos from behind the gates. Imagine how much more tourism would be generated if Buckingham Palace was open to the public to view as a museum type of attraction, like the many Palaces, gardens & castles in say, St Petersburg for example? We don’t need an actual Royal Family to generate tourism or money.

Hating on the monarchy is such an easy thing to do. We all know the reasons against having a monarchy.
But the Queen contributes an awful lot to charities and the tradition factor is important to a lot of people. I for one, don’t want our country to end up like some bland, indistinguishable, unidentifiable mess.
Many other countries have monarchies and I doubt any of them moan about their monarchies as much as we do. A large minority of us are so unpatriotic and hateful of our country, its history and its traditions.
It’s very strange when you think about it.

Blind, uncritical conformity to “traditions” and “patriotism” (a made-up, nonsensical idea used propagandistically that only the brain-dead buy into) is what’s strange.
As for being “hateful” of history & traditions... Surely there are aspects of our history - including ongoing aspects - that you hate, too? You wouldn’t be so blind as to defend terrible things simply because they have been done by the state on the piece of rock in the ocean on a planet floating around the sun in outer space that you - by pure happenstance beyond your control - were born onto? Because that would be REALLY weird.

Absolute waste of air time. Harry and William are decent blokes but I couldn't give a rats **** about Megan and the rest of them. Need to stop living in the tudor age and get rid of the expensive tourist attraction.

Why get rid of something that brings in more than it costs?

Like the slave trade or the arms industry? If we defended the existence of industry or institutions purely on financial grounds, well... I think my two examples more than make the point.
As for tourism... People don’t actually get to see & meet the Royals when they come and take a photo of Buckingham Palace. They can still come and take their photos from behind the gates. Imagine how much more tourism would be generated if Buckingham Palace was open to the public to view as a museum type of attraction, like the many Palaces, gardens & castles in say, St Petersburg for example? We don’t need an actual Royal Family to generate tourism or money.
