Queen Elizabeth raised the salary

Queen Elizabeth II raised the salary of 5 million pounds sterling (7, 6 million US dollars). Last year, Her Majesty received 31 million pounds in the 2013/2014 financial year, this amount will increase to 36, 1 million. That's how much taxpayers will have to pay the United Kingdom for the personal expenses of Elizabeth II, royal footmen and cooks, service Buckingham Palace and other raskhody.

This is the first increase in the royal salary for the last 20 years. And this despite the fact that only because of the financial crisis of 2008, Queen Elizabeth II has lost 37 million pounds - more than a third of personal investment capital. It is noteworthy that the British Ministry of Finance has repeatedly appealed to the government to increase the salary of the Queen of Great Britain, which last year celebrated the 60th anniversary of the accession to the throne.
