Get in line, your Highness!
Talks have begun between the British Government and Royal Palace aides to discuss a multi-million pound raise to Queen Elizabeth in the UK.
The Queen's current annual salary is 7.9 million pounds and is estimated to be overspent by 6 million pounds a year which has been covered by a 35 million pound emergency reserve. The reserve is expected to run out by 2012.
British taxpayers are likely going to be pissed about this since the coalition government just announced a 6 billion pound cut to revitalize the economy. A senior royal source says:
"By sheer chance, the timing is delicate and no one knew that it would be announced so soon after a change of government."
Maybe the Queen could take a cue from the rest of the country and just cut back on her spending a bit, no?! Hold off on the new tiara purchases or something!
