That's probably impossible to quantify. The example next door, Versailles, kind of says you don't need a living monarch.

Sure, but that's the metric you need to go by if you want to evaluate the tourism value of a "living" monarchy.

That tourists would continue to exist with or without the queen doesn't really tell us anything useful. It's a question of how many.
