According to Mirror’s revelations, Kate Middleton’s and Prince Williams’ trip to the Caribbean would have cost British taxpayers dearly. Not sure this news will please everyone.
- Last March, Prince William and Kate Middleton went on a Caribbean trip
- But according to Mirrorthese travels cost the British a small fortune
- Bad news when you know that crown spending has risen sharply
March last year, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton traveled to the Caribbean to meet the people of Belize, the Bahamas or even Jamaica. According to the revelations of Mirrorthis trip would have been very expensive for the British taxpayers, as the cost would be around £ 226,000. A message that will certainly not please the people of the United Kingdom, who had already seen how much this trip to the Caribbean had been heavily criticized, especially by the people on the ground. According to many observers, these various journeys had given the impression that the crown was showing its power “colonial”.
The use of an open Land Rover, driven by a Jamaican soldier, had created real unrest. In fact, for some, this sequence “looked like a scene from The Crown”. So this revelation of Mirror over the cost of Kate Middleton and Prince William makes people cringe. Especially since the last financial year, The monarchy is already said to have spent £ 102.4 million. Sir Michael Stevens, who is none other than the guardian of the private wallet, meanwhile says that these expenses are under control as the monarchy has received a grant of £ 86.3 million to finance its official functions.
Crown expenses highlighted
He stated as follows: “Sovereign Grant shows an increase in net spending to 102.4m, an increase of 17%, with the majority of the increase in spending coming from the Buckingham Palace maintenance program, which saw a 41% increase in spending to £ 54.6m”. To maintain Buckingham Palace, a £ 369 million maintenance contract was signed and includes updating the electrical wiring, plumbing and heating in Buckingham Palace over 10 years.
