Wrong, the consumer demand brings that in. Economics 101 that!
Poll: How would you vote in a referendum to abolish the monarchy?

No tourists bring themselves in. They don't come here just to see the queen as she is rarely seen in public anyway.
PR is made from the royals and that in turn forces the royal sycophants to go crazy buying up all rubbish produced.

Why would anyone want that? We should be proud to have a royal family and they do a lot for this country. They have a lot of influence and bring in a lot of money, jobs, tourist etc. And it's part of our history!

How can you dislike the Royals, Philip is always worth a laugh.
They can achieve all that privately however...

Ask me again once the Queen is dead... I don't see anyone else in the family remotely interesting.

I don't like the inbred cretins but we would be foolish to get rid. They've been part of this isle since the original kingdoms of Mercia, Wessex etc

Keep but make it a competition and let anyone from the UK enter.

I agree on that. Is possibly the only one who speaks his mind and doesn't give a damn, even when that got him into trouble many times. And holds well for his age at 95.
As for the monarchy, if the Queen had bit more power to hit the head of the PMs when they are tards, it could have worth the money spent.
But the poor old woman, doesn't even have the right to speak. Imho I feel sorry for her, because she lives in a "gold prison", the figurehead of the second most expensive circus on the planet.
(first circus is the whole Vatican)
And is hypocritical of us to say from one hand "we do not want them to interfere on the running of the country" while we want them to be the heads of the state and us their subjects.

Who do you think the people you referred to are?
The closest I can think of would be the Normans, but despite their oppression and brutality they didn't enslave everyone. In fact, they acted against slavery (some English people were being enslaved and taken to be sold in Ireland at that time). Besides, many people in Britain today have some Norman ancestors. Maybe including you. You may well have more Norman ancestry than the queen does.

Voted to keep the monarchy. It makes no sense whatsoever, I don't buy the tourism argument at all, but England without a King or Queen just wouldn't be the same. Maybe I'm just getting old and it'd be a change too far.

100% keep it. There are no valid reasons for removing it.
