I remember a figure from 2009-2010 that including their yearly 37million they ended up costing around 200 million. I don't know much about the matter but surely 200million is extreme?

Then a percentage of their revenue still generated from tourism can be siphoned off to go to something else, or their vast amount of totally private properties (which I hardly believe are all occupied) can be opened as attractions, generating further profit.

They give the U.K. government more revenue from their lands than their salary costs the taxpayer.
