well, I don't know enough people to have this finding be statistically significant, but I do know people who want to go to London and Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London are on their list, which likely would not be if there weren't a live Queen fomenting their level of interest.

Isn’t there a pic of a young Meghan in front of Buckingham Palace? (This was years before she wrote about William and Kate’s wedding on her blog.) I wonder why she wanted to visit there.

Yeah so weird why a child would have a picture in front of a prominent international tourist destination. I wonder what the reason could POSSIBLY be. Most likely 13 year old Meghan had already begun plotting her future as the unlikely American wife of the second prince and was doing some light recon on how she would approach her target.

+1. This isn't the "gotcha" that people seem to think it is.

Totally agree, No one even goes to Versailles anymore.

Well, when the Brits decide to overthrow their monarchy then we can see who is right. But, so far, that doesn't seem to be happening imminently. So, we shall wait.

She was planning how she would marry the spare and them lure him back to America. The conniving upstart!

We went to Royal Ascot with a big group of Americans specifically to see the royals and were thrilled to see the Queen along with Princes Philip, Harry and Charles. They were the big draw of the day.

Would those Americans (and you, if you are American) have not spent money in Britain that day if the Queen weren't at Royal Ascot? You're suggesting that absent the opportunity to see the Queen, none of them would even be in Britain.

+1. The BRF is going to be around for a while longer. Feel free to start a thread on whether that’s a good or bad thing. It’s not the focus of this thread.

Can you clarify? Are you saying that the people you know who want to go to London plan to visit Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London while they're there but would not go to London at all if not for interest in the living Queen?

Has anyone checked Murky Meg's blood pressure? That amount of salt can't be good for anyone's health.

I’m going to start reporting these future of the BRF posts. They are off topic. This thread is about MM.

Murky has rheumatoid arthritis. I find that people like that who spend every day in their own personal hell either become opioid addicts to escape or just turn their pain into anger against everyone else. She's done the latter. So...not saying I don't blame her, just saying she's a product of her pain.

That doesn't address my comment, though. People would still visit all those places. Tourists don't go because they get an audience with the Queen. The sites would still be tourist attractions because of historic interest in the monarchy. In fact, the history of the monarchy is probably of greater visiter interest than the current BRF.

Have you ever been there yourself? You probably have no concept of it because you've not experienced it first hand. No offense. I'm British and I can tell you that MANY people go to those places, not just for the history but in the hope of spotting the Queen or other royal coming in or out in their cars.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a joke. A lot of Brits really are that provincial, so maybe. If you ever go to the continent, Patronizing Brit, you'll see that people visit lots of unoccupied castles. The prospect of seeing royalty isn't the thrill you imagine.

Now you should realize that if a British person is on this site and living in the US, there is a very strong chance they've seen MOST of the continent, if not the rest of the world. It is only Americans who never leave their own continent.

Blame it on the great American work ethic.
