I don't think many tourists actually see the queen but droves of them go to see the palace etc
Actually my outsourcing suggestion is not as flippant as it might seem (on reflection) - The queen should give up management of the palace to a commercially minded outfit who would manage the assets and generate income in a professional way - and then they would have some clear objectives,a proper business and asset management plan and would be required to report when required to the public accounts committee. It does not sit comfortably in any of the ministries - they have not much track record in business.
Lets face it. In her late 80s the queen should not be bothered with running a large property portfiolio.
I agree it is flipping ridiculous to have all those freeloaders who are slurping up funds that could be used to stop the palaces crumbling. Time for a slimmed down monarchy.
