There is a formula to make out the level of rents staff have to pay to either the Crown Estate or the royal Household because they have to live on the estate.
It works out as equivalent to 16.7% of their gross pensionable salary.
What the fuck??? That’s for staff, not working royals, so the guy who used to iron Andrew’s shoelaces had to pay 1/6 of his pre-tax salaries in rent to live somewhere he didn’t choose.
Because they're... still... royals? What am I missing
Probably because most people thought they’d suffered the same fate as him, and were reduced to being mere mortals.
But yes they are still royals. And another reason to consign the royal family to history.
As one of the largest land-owners, I'm surprised they're 'benefit scroungers'. Did someone tell you they're dole kings?
Meh. I'm fine with having a royal family - sure there's a bunch of spongers but the fundamental principle of having a bunch of pomp and pageantry for the sake of tradition and jolly flag waving (as opposed to "get rid of the immigrants" flag waving) is fun and worth the price of entry. The price of entry pays rent for a bunch of people who did nothing to deserve it, because that's kind of how it works.
Make them pay their rent or get out. Besides I thought they were married?
Spongers, the lot of them.
Who's the vampire in the middle of the picture? She freaks me out
