QUOTE (The Hatter @ Oct 16 2018, 07:46 PM) Foreign tourists don't come here to see the Royal family anymore than we go to Sweden to see theirs. I think they do?

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Oct 17 2018, 09:08 AM) I think they do? They're not generally very accessible so I don't think you can! You might get as glimpse if there is a big royal event but it's not like you can pop over and have tea with them!

Also they may not come to see the family per-see, but to see all that is associated with the. Buckingham Place, Windsor Castle, Queen's Guard etc.

As I said before I don't really want a monarchy, I don't see a benefit that equals the cost but I do agree that the queen is a good one, and I don't think it's all negative.
