Versailles is an architectural marvel. Buckingham Palace is rather ordinary by comparison.

Also being more like France wouldn't be a benefit to tourism. We already have a neighbour that's really good at being like France. It's called France.

Yeah trying to compete with France on tourism when noth countries and cultures are so close by trying to be even closer... not a great idea

Versailles is also rather isolated wheras buckingham palace is smack on in the middle of london. I reckon buckingham palace would be very popular were it open all year long. And most people visit for the funny hats, just keep the hats.

Also, versailles is more visited than all british royal castles combined. Also because most of those are closed for much of the year.

An architectural marvel without toilets.
