    I've read that "the forecast is for 11.0 million overseas visits to the UK in 2023, 81% of the 13.6 million in 2019" and "Global tourism in 2023 is predicted to reach approximately 80% to 95% of 2019 levels", so it is on the rise and I expect the Coronation will help encourage more tourists.

    I agree that the monarchy should be slimmed down. I think Princess Anne got it right when she declined titles for her children.

    Redwing  The monarch isn't allowed to engage in politics and all the topics you mention have political overtones?  As discussed elsewhere, climate change is just a fashionable hobby horse for the unthinking to endorse in.

    A friend moved to Poundbury. She thinks it's beautiful. I think parts of it are quite attractive.

    but would you want the whole country to look like that? 
    It's just such an example of cliché  architecture
