The “ostentatious lifestyle” is what drives the souvenir market.
You go to Buckingham, and can buy all sorts of random junk with a photo of the monarchs, royal symbols, and whatnot. They’re even collectible!
Last time I was at Versalles, they were selling… hat umbrellas. Like, seriously? Come on, at least sell some toy guillotines with a series of monarchs with detachable heads, or something… but that seems to be too grim for the general public, so… hat umbrellas. 🙄
