2020 and we still have an elitist royal family here in the Uk who are unelected and run amok doing as they please all living in vast Palaces Castles and thousand acre estates while not having real jobs and are as corrupt as any middle eastern countries leaders, Andrew alone is a good enough reason of why the monarchy is not fit for purpose, then you have the rest of them all with their noses in the trough, I mean what does Edward actually contribute to the UK in return for the lifestyle he enjoys at our expense, it's only a matter of time before they will be gone.
The "good for tourism" excuse is the one most commonly heard and among the least plausible. The UK ranks a subdued 10th in the world; and of the top nine only two have monarchies (Spain, Thailand) though I am sure that it is not for the monarchies that people rush to the beaches of Spain or to the bars of Bangkok.
