Money for the Queen

The British government continues to cut billions in public spending, however the royal family's finances are not threatened. The government will be investing 200 million Euros in wind-farms, which will be placed in the seabed in British territorial waters. Owned by Crown Estate, operators are required to pay Crown Estate a fee for running cables along the seabed and must also pay Crown Estate a percentage of their profit. In order to finance the royal family, parliament will require that the royal family receive a portion of Crown Estate's income. With the government's investment, Crown Estate is predicted to produce a greater income in the upcoming years, thus benefiting the royal family. With billions being cut in public spending, it is good to know that the royal family is OK.
