Assessing the Royal Family's £86M Annual Expense: Are They a Worthy Investment?

There's no doubt that the British royal family is rich. If you were to add up all of the land properties and castles linked to the monarchy, you'd end up with assets of around 26 billion pounds. Not to mention the Faberge eggs, the crown jewels, drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and one of the most valuable stamp collections in the world. To some, the Windsors are an out-of-date Money Pit that should be consigned to the history books. It is seen as a grubby, secretive, and corrupt institution. While to others, they are The Very Best of British, combining history with majesty and bringing in billions to the country through tourism and business.
