The tourism argument is silly. We could turn Buckingham Palace into one of the most popular tourist sites in the world if it was seized and opened to the public.

I'm a republican who views monarchy as a slightly embarrassing relic but abolishing it is pretty low down on my list of priorities given its insignificance in public life except as celebrity gossip fodder.

On that note, I always found it bizarre that Downton Abbey was somehow perceived as a liberal show in the USA.

It was? The show was created by a Conservative peer and praised by David Cameron as an embodiment of his "Big Society" (lol) idea.
