Brand Finance, which bills itself as the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, estimated that the royals contributed 1.77 billion pounds ($1.95bn) to the UK economy in 2017 through a combination of the Crown Estate’s revenues and indirect benefits for tourism, trade, media and the arts.

Crown Estate’s revenues

Well, dispossess them and use the property directly wouldn’t hurt either, would it?

tourism, trade, media and the arts.

There might be other ways to promote your image than having an institution that symbolizes colonialism and is hated by many people. Like abolishing said institution to show the global South that you are sorry? That might make you more likable aa well

  Sure that is one option. Another one is to just keep them. The Brit chose the latter.
