The age old argument .. "they generate tourism". How ??

Tourists never get to see any of the Royal Family, they see Buck House and Changing the Guard etc. How much more income would be generated if Buck House were open to the public ? We should keep all the pomp and ceremony heritage stuff for the tourists, just without the expensive hangers on ! Without the security aspect keeping it all behind closed doors that would generate even more cash !.
