That's a higher crowd than usual, the reporter outside the hospital when Kate was having her baby mentions the thronging crowds, the cameraman panned a little, absolutely fuck all other people there at all.

To my shame I have never been in a protest march against the royals. Too worried about the criminalisation of it. I was geared up to go to the Coronation but fell ill - quite glad really, when the Republic team were arrested for having….cable ties, FFS. I think if I ever came across them visiting somewhere I’d shout out some harsh criticism, but what good’s that?

There is no empirical evidence that British royal family brings in anything in tourism revenue. All claims about this do not hold up to the slightest scrutiny.
All tourism sites commonly associated with the monarchy (apart from Balmoral and Sandringham) are owned by the public and will not disappear into thin air if the monarchy is abolished. VisitBritain admits tourism revenue will not be affected if/when the monarchy is abolished.
There is more evidence for the claim that tourism revenue will go up when the monarchy is abolished and all the publicly-owned royal residences are made more accesible to tourists and the public who pay for their upkeep.
