The Royal family and its duties are respected by many; others are ambivalent at best. There is not unanimous support.

Support could be gauged by determining how many are prepared to pay for a service, and what value they place on it.

A fully-costed and transparent target budget could be set 12 months in advance, and a 'crowdfunding' appeal launched to achieve that target.

Tracking against target would facilitate adjustment to resources in the case of shortfall or oversubscription.
