My understanding is the queen is quite frugal, all the pomp comes from the system itself.
Again we need to separate person from position.
Lizzy never asked to be monarch, it was thrust upon her by fate and she had made the best she could of it.
As for the tourism I would like to know what percentage of Americans visit the UK compared to visiting the other European countries to see if the monarchy is such a magnet for overseas tourism.
