do royalty perform any function that warrants their excessive cost? Do they do any real or actual work or is it just cutting ribbons and attending tea parties and visiting sick children to make inane comments. The usual nonsense is that royalty are tourist attractions therefore they make more money than they cost, which is completely idiotic, its like saying burning a billion dollars as a side show is a good idea as long as it makes a profit. England would still have as many tourists royals or no royals, in fact they would have more if they could use the money squandered on royals for improvments to tourism. So are Royals parasites, if not then show real factual reasons they are not, rather than emotional claptrap and if they serve some actual purpose explain why they cant do it cheaper.
