Born Hunter 17,763 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 How do look after themselves financially then BH..... Genuine question like?? Is it from tourism or what?? The Crown Estate! A few hundred years ago the Royal Family gave up the responsibility and rights of running their own finances and put HM Gov in charge. So they get a budget from the government each year, which is accumulated through our complex tax system..................... Which the Crown Estate contributes a shit load more to than it takes out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sikastag_1 689 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Surely they will become bankrupt then yes? Considering that is their only income and they take less than they give. The estates they own are not part of the crown estate, these estates cost the tax payer money because they are guarded by the army alongside the estate employees so does the money that estate generates go up in a puff of smoke or is this another income.
