I bet our RoI from the Royal Family is higher than it is from Visit Britain
when it comes to boosting the UK's image, attracting tourists here
I think Visit Britain get about 50m to spend, compared to the paltry 35m HRH has to get by on

Which is presumably why buckingham palace doesnt even feature in the top ten tourist attractions in
London.
The top attractions are museums and the tower of london. Suggests a certain historical pull doesnt it?
