Another opinion. They are still a burden on the tax payer and always have been. Ok they help bring tourists here but tourists who get to see buckingham palace. They dont get to meet any of them. What else do they do?. Yes they are always in the spotlight but that is just the media. I would love to find out how much they cost us. (The true figure). Then we can make our minds up if they are worth it or not. Of course I wish the couple and their baby well just the same as I would do anyone on here too or anyone I know.
