The Queen and the Royal Family cost the UK taxpayer £37.4m in the last financial year, her financial public accounts reveal.

The cost, equivalent to 62p per person in the UK, rose 4.2% over the previous year, accountants said."

Accounts are always massaged to make them look good. If they say they cost 37 million then the cost a lot more.

Maybe the tourists would still come to see where the royals used to live. That way we'd win both ways. We'd save on their costs and still sell tacky souvenirs and ice cream.
