Could not agree plus I love the queen but should they be paid 87million a year from tax payers not forgetting all the travel allowance. Just think how that money could be used for NHS or education and public sevices x |

As you say they should not get the Royal Settlement I take it you are happy for the Treasury to return the Crown Estates to the Crown. After all the Royal Settlement is paid by the Treasury to the Crown in return for income raised by the Crown Estates. |

Technically it's not their house. It belongs to the Crown Estate and money would have had to be spent on the building's renovation anyway.
The couple paid for all their own fixtures and fittings. |

The house belongs to the country they merely live there it’s also a heritage building and they pay for the fixtures and fittings they want.
67million is something like a 5th of what the royal estates put into the exchequer so where does the tax payer come into it ?
They are the tax payers too ??

"These arguments sound eerily familiar . . . spending taxpayers money so that business can generate a lot more in trade.

Indeed, you need to spend money to make money and unfortunately money makes the world go round  |

Not quite, unless you are suggesting that because the King of the day signed over the majority of Crown lands to the Exchequer in return for the Crown Settlement that the state can now break that contract by no longer paying the Crown Settlement (which is calculated as a percentage of the Crown Estate income) and keep the Crown Estate portfolio. |
