I doubt it. Monarchs don't only cost the public on the day they die, they do it every single other day too. The total annual cost of the British monarchy is estimated at $431 million dollars and that is just for the people and doesn't even include things like the cost of renovating Buckingham Palace and other monarchial properties which costs hundreds of millions more. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/ ... omplicated

Well, if you are going to compare the whole executive branch then you'd have to add in the costs of the UK executive branch so Prime Minister and all the executive branch cabinet and agencies. Since they are more the equivalent to the White House.
