Royal family is cheap to run and the value to the country is almost

Very few tourists visit the UK to see royals.
Probably true, but as usual your view of the world is blindingly narrow.
Few tourists visit anywhere JUST to see one particular thing, rather
it is the sum total of things.
Lots of people go to the UK to see the royals, the palaces, the changing
of the guard, and all the associated trappings and museums.
