I agree there is an argument there that the Royal Family pays for itself in reciprocal benefits. Its at least a reasonable conversation and not completely one-sided.
Given the popularity of William and Kate these days among the British public, there's no chance royalty is going to be abolished in that country anytime soon. Or in Canada. Maybe Australia or New Zealand.
