They were discussing this topic on Talksport last night

My opinion

1.) The Royals bring in a shed load of money from tourism... But that's a historical thing, it's about buildings and history, not about the actual people - who come here thinking they will actually see the queen France hasn't had a monarchy for centuries and Paris has far more tourists than London

2.) They do a lot for charity - Correct, but it's us that pay the money into the charities and we would still do it if Deavid Beckham was the face of the charity instead of Prince Charles

3.) It's our history! - So what, are the Royals throughout history really people to look up to and aspisr to? Rapists, theives, murderers!

4.) They have no executive powers are not elected - we need to get with the times and kick them out
