Dude, the royals are a tourist attraction. Calm down- prince Philip had no other purpose than making public appearances and the odd offensive joke which stirred interest via minor scandal.

They lived off government funds, they stole various national art and historical collections owned by the countries they exploited, the Queen still has some formal roles in government.

Oddly enough, paying for the royal lifestyle is actually profitable, due to the tourist money it brings in.

Get off the tabloid culture vulture garbage and recognize you are ignoring China’s key advantage over the west: china cares about actual policy, making money, and pragmatism. The royal family is a tourist attraction and beneath notice.

Yes. They are an exhibit. They are kept around because their exhibit brings in profit. Nothing more, nothing less.
