The heir apparent( in this case it is Prince Charles,receives finance from the Civil list to assist with state function and engagements he carries out but he also has an income from the Duchy of Cornwall which is a similar estate to the duchy of lancaster. It is held in trust and is used to meet the expenses of the Monarchs eldest son.

Answer 7

The Monarchy has sometimes been described as an expensive institution, with Royal finances shrouded in confusion and secrecy. In reality, the Royal Household is committed to ensuring that public money is spent as wisely and efficiently as possible, and to making Royal Finances as transparent and comprehensible as possible. Each year the Royal Household publishes a summary of Head of State expenditure. There are four sources of funding for The Queen, or officials of the Royal Household acting on Her Majesty's behalf, in both a public and private capacity. These are: the Civil List, the Grants-in-Aid for upkeep of Royal Palaces and for Royal travel, the Privy Purse and The Queen's personal wealth and income.

Other than The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh is the only member of the Royal Family to receive an annual parliamentary allowance to enable him to carry out official public duties supporting The Queen. Since 1993, The Queen has repaid to the Treasury the annual parliamentary allowances received by other members of the Royal Family. Most of the allowances received by members of the Royal Family are spent on staff who support their public engagements and correspondence. In 2000 the annual amounts payable to members of the Royal Family (which are set every ten years) were reset at their 1990 levels for the next ten years, until December 2010. Apart from an increase of £45,000 on the occasion of The Earl of Wessex's marriage, these amounts remain as follows:

HRH The Duke of Edinburgh  Ã‚£359,000

HRH The Duke of York £249,000

HRH The Earl of Wessex £141,000

HRH The Princess Royal £228,000

TRH The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, TRH The Duke

and Duchess of Kent and HRH Princess Alexandra

*£636,000

* Of the £636,000, £175,000 is provided by The Queen to The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, £236,000 to The Duke and Duchess of Kent and £225,000 to Princess Alexandra.

Answer 8

As they are employed by the UK Government as Abassadors, they are entitled to draw a salary as Civil Servants.

However, this only accounts for a small proportion of their income.

The rest comes from the huge tracts of land that they own and charge rent for.

And their collections of fine art, property and jewelry.

Some of them actually have proper jobs too. Serving in the Armed Forces is traditional for the current Ryoal Family and they are entitled to a wage as a serving member.
