Quote:

The cost to the taxpayer of supporting the British monarchy has risen by £200,000 in the last financial year, Buckingham Palace accounts show.

The Queen's official expenditure increased from £32.1m in 2010/11 to £32.3m in 2011/12.

Maybe this has risen because the Queen was involved in events leading upto the Jubilee. I think this is around 52p each year to the tax payer.

52p a week extra? She's obviously back on the gin again.

Even if she is the whole 52 pence will probably go back to George Osbourne in tax anyway Laughing
