That's pretty damming. Are they so deaf, they can't see and understand that it's time to rethink the sovereign grant? Buckingham palace has stood for centuries. It's not even used in the firm's business.
Slow down the preservation costs. Help your people. The only way you won't bring the Monarchy down.
But NO.
Use the Sussex's to deflect, thinking people are stupid, while, the UK people grow increasingly more hungry, freeze during the winter, and burn up in the summer.
Now, I'm seeing a surrogate claiming she was the Sussex's baby maker, while there are whispers of dropping Archie and Lily from succession...again...
The barrage of deflection while the people of UK are in post Brexit pain is insufferable
What's potentially encouraging about reforming the Sovereign Grant system is that it's not even 15 years old. It replaced the Civil List, which required more of a dollars and cents (pounds and cents?) account of where and how money was spent. The Sovereign Grant is a way sweeter deal for the British Royals and doesn't include the Duchies. It's one of the reasons people are calling for a reform that combines the Duchies and the Sovereign Grant into one National Trust. I'm going to dig into it a bit more, including some of my interview with the Republic's CEO later in the week!
I do love that the picture they chose to illustrate the train usage was the Queen with Meghan. Perhaps the last time the train was relevant? Ah yes, the Queen chose to do an event with just Meghan! Had she ever done one with just Kate?
That picture was certainly a choice, considering that there are pics of King Charles getting on and off the train from this past year. My guess is that it's both the eye-catching green QE is wearing and obvi the mere presence of Meghan that led to the photo selection.
Reading this, i really wish you could have an interview with the BRF. You always posit a lot of questions that I'm really interested in seeing answered... but with no level of "hard hitting" journalism present in the royal rotation, we'll likely never see them answered.
Meredith...

They could pay for their own travel costs and the government pay security.
