The Sovereign Grant, it allocates the Queen and Royal families moneys for royal duties, upkeep of buildings, stuff like that. Last year it was £43million. While the true cost of the Royal family would be higher, that is the direct money the government pays to them.

Considering we pay £150billion to the NHS or £50billion on military, I think £50 mil on the Royal family is nothing. We give more than that back from tourism alone.

 

Plus that extra person ready to veto a bullcrap law is more than welcome.

This I really don't get. People are going to stop coming as tourists because there isn't a queen anymore? It's not as if they're ever actually going to see the queen regardless.

People definitely come visit to see the royal family. Without the monarchy, there'd be no reason to visit Buckinham Palace. :-/
