re: Will we see the end of the British Monarchy in our life time?

I suspect most brits recognize that the royal family generates huge $$$ in tourism, as well as harder to calculate $$$ derived from the ongoing concept of the British monarchy. There is a certain level of cachet for British products, landmarks, etc. that just won't be the same without it.

You say that, but the UK was the only European country to actually see a decline in tourism in 2018. While the rest of Europe saw a 6% increase in tourism, the UK saw a 5.3% decline. Now, London is still my wife's and my favorite destination in Europe with the monarchless-Paris a close second; however, the fact the Queen still sits on the throne has very little to do with it.
