I don't know why the OP is using "you" as though we on this forum could do anything. Lol. If anyone British has said anything about the US it's hardly the opinion of the entire country.

The last thing i'd want to do if i went to London is go on one of those cheesy tours. I'm more interested in the nightlife and the shopping.
Again, that's you. There's lots of people that would like to look at the palace and other landmarks.

Just like I'm sure plenty people spend money to see the White House in Washington.

And as another poster said, the Queen harnesses no "real" political power.
