  • Question

    Love your pod cast. Is there a reason why all the royals can’t live in Windsor castle or Buckingham palace? I love the royals and a big reason why I would visit London on vacation. I would think they bring in loads of tourists. Has anyone checked into how much tourism they bring in? Thank you
