I've just seen on the BBC News that the Royal Family costs every taxpayer 62p per year, which I consider to be a bit of a bargain.
I've not really got a lot of time for them and there is, of course, the argument that they are all a load of privileged scroungers who only enjoy their good fortune by chance, but looking at it from a purely commercial point of view they do bring in a heck of a lot of money into the tourist industry and I do think that, should the monarchy ever be abolished, it would be a terrible shame and would cost a good many jobs.
