Where does the British royal family get its income?

From 2007 - 2008 The Queen and the Royal Family cost the UK taxpayer £40.0 million. The cost is equivalent to 66p per person in the UK.

There are four sources of funding of The Queen, and those working in support of The Queen as Head of State. These are:

  • the Civil List, to meet official expenditure relating to The Queen's duties as Head of State and Head of the Commonwealth;
  • the Grant-in-aid for Royal travel, for air and rail journeys associated with official engagements;
  • the Privy Purse for The Queen's public and personal use.
  • The Queen's personal wealth and income.
