英国女王明年可能将加薪
The Queen is in line for a 6.5% payrise and could net a cool £45.6 million from the taxpayer next year if the way she is funded stays the same.
英国女王可能将加薪6.5%。如果拨款方案不变，明年她将从纳税人手中获得4560万英镑。
Figures released show a total profit of £304.1 million for the Crown Estate.
If the Queen receives her Sovereign Grant calculated at the customary 15% of that she would be handed £45.6 million from the Treasury in April 2017, an increase of £2.8 million up from £42.8 million this year.
However, the formula for the Sovereign Grant is being reviewed this year by The Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Keeper of the Privy Purse who will potentially change the way it is calculated to less than 15% of Crown Estate profits.
This could mean her payrise is smaller, but she will still be in line for a bumper sum as rules state she cannot get less than any previous year.
But a source said about the negotiations lately in light of Brexit turmoil: “This is hardly the moment where we are going to finalise a review of the Sovereign Grant.”
