Call a referendum so that the UK can decide if a monarchy is wanted.
The monarchy continues to put a strain on the UK economy, whilst serving no substantial role and obstructing the larger potential for tourist revenue. The NHS, people and families on minimum wage et al all struggle whilst the monarchy continues its prodigality.
The monarchy cost us more than £43 million per year (and that's only the subsidiary grant), and the argument for their profit is nullified by the fact that if they weren't in place, the attractions linked to the Royals would be available to be opened for much more of the year, yielding a much greater potential profit. And all without any initial cost.
