Personally i couldn't care less about the monarchy one way or another,so i say your only on this Planet but a few moments so if you can find love and happiness then go for it.

And as for my 60 pence a year going towards maintaining the Royal family,well if they were abolished tomorrow do you really think i would be 60p better off a year?...NO i dont think so it would only end up somewhere else,so who cares where it goes if not in my pocket.

As for the Royal family being good for tourism,well yes i do believe that is true to a degree,especially with our American cousins across the pond,but probably not as much as most people would imagine.

My very good American friend came to England a few years ago where we stayed in London,and apart from coming to visit me,the things she was most interested in seeing were the many museums,the West end theatres as well as famous landmarks such as Big Ben,the London eye,London bridge,Harrods,Oxford street (of course being a woman)etc...though she did enjoy London Tower which was really the only thing we went to see connected with the Royals although i suppose the Victoria and Albert museum might have been something to do with royalty now i think about it...lol.
But actually the number one tourist attraction by far is the British Museum.



Here i am in London with Charles and Camilla a few years ago but of course they were in disguise, thats Charlie on your left for those of you unsure.
