The ancient Crown Estates are the perquisite of the Sovereign whoever is on the throne. Since 1760 (George III’s reign) they have been handed over to the Governement of the day. Just in case the monarch squandered these resources.
The Revenue from this source is called The Consolidated Fund. About one third of which is allocated to and called The Privy Purse for the maintenance of the residences of the Royal Family.
NOTE: There has been no charge yet to the taxpayer.
Nor will there be.
What remains, i.e. two thirds of this Crown Estate income is just presented to The Treasury, thus RELIEVING the taxpayer of any additional expense, or ANY EXPENSE WHATSOEVER.
Which other landlord freely gives his excess income to its government?
The taxpayer has contributed Zero.
Please correct your incorrect report.
Now what exactly does a President cost his country and the taxpayer?

It's not like Google News is showing full content; if people like what they see AFP (in this case) publishing, they'll click through. Maybe instead they should be contacting Google for an Adwords account.</p> What I don’t understand is why any site wouldn’t want to be featured on a highly visible site.
