Endanger the crown: Kate and William enraged the British with a daring trick

Kate Middleton and Prince William cost the crown big time. The appetite of the “golden” heirs is exorbitant. This only increases the dissatisfaction among the test subjects.

Every year Britain spends more and more on the maintenance of the royal family. The average figure ranges from 35 million pounds (about three billion rubles) – and this is only according to official data. According to rumors, the amount is ten times more.

In 2016, there was a peak of popular discontent. The Duchess then hired a helicopter to get from Kensington Palace to the mansion in Sandringham. Flying for 45 minutes will cost almost 250 thousand rubles. For example, Elizabeth II paid only £50 for the same train route.

Here’s another example of extravagance. Prince William and his wife planned to spend a million pounds (80 million rubles) to renovate the Norfolk estate. At the same time, a luxury apartment in Kensington was already waiting for them. But nature-loving William wanted to live outside the city, and he wasn’t worried about spending on a luxurious life, writes Elle. The prince had apparently forgotten that the money comes from the pockets of the British.
