There is a bit of that.
And I think part of the problem with this as well is that you kind of, if you are a Republican, you're not going to like this in any way whatsoever.
You're just not going to really believe in a constitutional monarchy.
You're not going to believe in the hereditary inheritance of grand estates and land to give you an income.
If you're a staunch monarchist, you're going to think, well, of course the king and queen need public money to do the work of the public, to get out and about, to be seen, to be doing charity stuff.
You know, you are philosophically in two very different places, which tend to be how you then look at the royal account.
So it's sometimes very hard to get an impartial view or somebody who can look at it with a cool head.
And I think, you know, depending on what camp you're in, that's going to be your take on what the numbers are.
Yeah, that is a quite eye-catching figure that came out of the account.
So that figure from 2027 is going to be just under £100 million every year for five years.
So it's going to be flat.
It's not going to follow inflation.
It will just be that figure.
But that is more around double
what it was three years ago so that is a really considerable uplift now when you ask why has that happened well buckingham palace say that because there's just a lot to do the the royal family are carrying out more engagements there are more historic buildings to maintain they've got two big projects on that they want to do as well which is improving cyber security across all royal residences and there is this transition to green energy that they're doing as well so
For example, £11 million has been earmarked to change the boilers at Windsor Castle, just as one little slice of what that money is going to be spent on.
But it is still a huge uplift for that figure to be doubled to almost £100 million for five years.
It's a figure that has been approved by the Prime Minister and by the Chancellor.
But what we don't know is what were the state of the discussions?
Was there any pushback from the government in terms of the numbers?
