Should Buckingham Palace be open for longer?

Buckingham Palace is currently undergoing a 10-year restoration project, which is set to cost taxpayers an estimated £369 million.

Economics journalist Daisy McAndrew thinks that the British monarchy should take a leaf out of the Swedish Royal Family's book and keep Buckingham Palace open all year round so there is more money for maintenance.

However, the Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter explains why this is not possible, since it is still a working palace.
