Poll - Total Votes: 23
Yes I support the idea of a working British Royal Family, maintaining tradition is great.
No I don't support the idea of a working British Royal Family, tradition doesn't matter.
You can only vote on one answer.
I've just posted a lengthy response to a members question on how do the Royal family generate income for the UK .
Typical of me I went into one lol ..so decided to save my response as a separate post
see below
🙂Maybe there are other thoughts out there?
*************************
hello there thanks for asking
Before I launch into how much commercial revenue this family generates .
I would like to turn your attention to the good long standing relations.
Both here at home in the UK, and Internationally which the Monarchy have fostered over many in many cases hundreds of years .
The many charities for all members of British and International society's, across the board.
Who have benefited immensely from royal patronage.
My favourite being the Princes Trust -
a charity begun by the then Prince Charles.
With the aim of supporting Young People who are on the fringes of Society ,& without the necessary parental or family support needed .
To see them onto further education, training , and self employment after leaving care or school.
Many of those youngsters were supported beyond leaflets and lip service.
By way of qualified mentor support, and financial assistance.
They are now running successful businessess & have successful jobs careers
The charity still continues helping disenfranchised youth of Great Britain today.
Now the commercial revenue -
This happens in a number of ways The Royal residences are of historical interest and each year tourists arrive to visit them
1. Initially generating revenue within the Travel industry .
2. After which the Hotel and Hospitality industry profit immensely.
3 then the ground Transport industry Car rentals , Black Taxis in traditional London Transport Bus & Thames boat tours in particular.
4 Other typical excursions will include Historical places of interest, also our Theatres and other British , Exhibitions of interest . Of which there are many .
Last but not least millions of tickets sold each year to tour r the royal residences ,
From Buckingham Palace to Balmoral
Trooping of the Colour Events
Billions of Souvenirs & Memorabilia are a constant source of retail income from the production line - to retail profit .
It's also likely by default I've left lots out
But think of the jobs and careers tagged to the industry's already mentioned.
Tourism on this scale is a year in year out event .
We must also remember
We have the only Fully Operational Monarchy in Europe, think England think Royalty - think Royalty think England.
It's a fantastic tradition .
Of course not everyone is 'Pro Royal ' however f you would like an idea of numbers who are both at home and abroad.
Take a look at our most recent event the Coronation.
Millions if Not Billions of viewing figures live streamed from around the world.
And still the numbers of British people and tourists who had queued for many days ahead of the events. Lined the streets of England
Celebrated in pubs & held parties 🎉
Facts are people Enjoy tracing History & historical facts.
Especially when the present is still aligned and tangible .
People like and appreciate Tradition, especially when it is still very much aligned and tangible.
The Monarchy is representative of these matters of interest.
And this is why they give so much more than they cost.
I didn't see all of the televised event . But I believe the words '"Service & to Serve " were mentioned .
Think of our late Queen.
It truly is what they have done & do best 🇬🇧
