How was it broken down in terms of justifying what they needed to spend and what it would cost?
So it's another one of those situations here where we have some of that information.
We can see there is a massive gap.
uplift, but we don't quite know the flavour of the conversations that were had to agree for that number to go up.
And I think, you know, if you are anti the monarchy, if you think the royal family cost too much money, well, that kind of uplift is something that will really annoy you.
Yeah, that's right.
It started at 12% that figure.
It's now going up to 20 to get that £100 million figure.
Exactly.
When you say it was an algorithm, algorithms can change, of course, and they can shift.
And that's what has happened in the conversations with government here to come to this new figure for the sovereign grant.
The percentage has gone up.
Yeah, the Royal Train goes out of service next year, and perhaps that's why.
£48,000 to get to Clitheroe does seem rather a lot of money, even in peak time, doesn't it?
So the Royal Train is expensive.
We knew that.
And when you go through the travel figures in the accounts, there are quite a few train journeys that seem quite eye-wateringly expensive.
You know, we're talking well over...
£20,000 for a trip, so from next year the Royal Train won't be used.
There's also around three quarters of a million pounds spent on 177 helicopter flights by the Royal Family over the past year, a lot of chartered aircraft being used as well, over £800,000 spent on chartered aircraft and the most expensive overseas trip of the year that was made by Prince William to Saudi Arabia back in February and that cost £130,000.
