"He said that repairing the royal palaces was a significant financial priority, and that the Royal household had
almost doubled its income to £11.6 million since 2007."
Interesting. I'm wondering what those sources of income are? I'd assumed that the royals mostly got their money from the Civil List via Parliament.

Aren’t the crown jewels worth a couple billion?
I doubt the Royals are worried.

This is the government provided fund for upkeep of the royal family and its household.
Looks like the household accountants have been on a bit of a binge. Her majesty has been verty frugle but only has a million pounds left. OMG!
Time to sell Buckingham Palacio.

Oh no! Now she will have to get a dirty clothes hamper, lowering Herself to wearing (shuddering), “used” undies and socks. Some one get her a glass of Great Value brand sherry before she faints.
Eyes rolling...

Start taxing sugar and every piece of paper used for printing...
If that’s not enough then tax all imported tea...
Problem solved...

Coming from her World War II experience (as a mechanic), I've heard that Bess is pretty thrifty, but that it's Prince Chuck who likes to spend the dough like a drunken sailor.

Ideas to see the Royals through this “rough patch” ....
1. Rent out the Buckingham Palace courtyard for rock concerts.
2. Lease half of the palace itself to Station Casinos, and call it Palace Station East.
3. Put the Queen on an American-style 99-week unemployment program. It’s not like she’s ever worked.
4. Furlough all 3,000 maids, butlers, chefs, chauffeurs and gardeners on all but Saturdays.
5. Let the Royals experience the joys of rationed, socialized health care, just like the little people. No more private, high-end care... too expensive.
