I just don't buy the tourism argument. The Palace of Versailles gets more visitors per year than Buckingham Palace... and France haven't had a Monarch for centuries.

Look at the royal wedding... People care about your monarchy... >_>

Just not our people. Airlines have reported that the weekend of the wedding is one of their busiest weekends that they've ever seen. Literally fully booked. These people aren't using their extended long weekend to celebrate the marriage, they're using it to get away from the country for a bit.
