Queen To Hit By Financial Crunch
Sadly, the Queen might run out of her funds, in her Diamond Jubilee year, unless the government increases the Civil List. The Civil List, which pays for the running of the Royal Household, has not increased in the last 20 years. The newly published accounts reveal that the total cost of keeping the monarchy during the last financial year has increased by 1.5 million pounds to 41.5 million pounds.
At present, UK is suffering from the global economic crisis- the worst since the Second World War. At the moment any request for an increase in funds would be difficult to tackle. It also revealed that the Queen raided the reserve fund by 6 million pounds to supplement the Civil List.
A breakdown of the figures has revealed that 9.9 million pounds went on salaries, administration 1.5 million pounds, housekeeping and furnishings 700,000 pounds, ceremonial functions 400,000 pounds, 1.1 million pounds on catering and hospitality, 600,000 pounds on the garden parties which were attended by 50,000 people.
