    Most of those costs would be there regardless of the moncarchy.

    Still have to upkeep historical buildings, still need to accommodate nationals among other costs.

    And we don’t know what the other option could cost, it may cost more since we don’t have established accommodations.

    It’s not as simple as you seem to think, those costs wouldn’t just go away….

      Well as I said previously, the money is just the cherry on top. The actual basis for getting rid of the monarchy is that it’s an institution with no real legitimacy. Our figurehead is a charlatan.
