Do You Support The Monarchy threads are a bit like How Old Are You threads and What Do You Do For A Living threads inasmuch that they come round every year or so. And I always say the same thing... The Royals bring in more than they cost. They are patrons of loads of charities, they contribute to international trade with diplomatic visits and by receiving foreign guests here. They are also major employers and The Prince's Trust has such an impact on young people and gets so little credit that people underestimate the work it does... and I've not even mentioned Tourism yet.
