As someone who lives outside the UK, I find it so hilariously wild when "the monarchy brings in tourism" is used as a reason to keep this random family in power.
Tourists are not going to see or meet members of the royal family, it's not a Disney meet and greet situation.
Tourists visiting places of importance like Windsor and Buckingham Palace does not require an active monarchy to fuck over the working class.
If anything, I would be MORE compelled to visit England if the monarchy were abolished and the public were allowed to view the miriad of art the royal family have hidden away.
Visiting Versailles and being able to enter much better for tourism than if you could only look at it from outside because some nepo baby lives there.
So for anyone quaking in their boots about tourism post-abolition, worry not, tourists will come because seeing the monarchy was never the point in the 1st place.

Heartwarming! A senior citizen (Charles) took over the family business (the British monarchy) after his mother passed away, so his family and friends (rich white people) threw him a party (an unnecessarily expensive coronation) to support him.

Wow they made the British monarchy from Bridgerton into a real thing? Netflix really went all out on marketing this year…
