The Queen was informed that such a use of low-income funds for her palace would be a tad unpopular. The palace was complaining in 2004 that the Queen’s gas and electricity bills, which had increased by 50 per cent in 2004, left the palace with more than £1m a year in energy bills. Royal aides denounced the bill as “untenable.”
She may, however, want to expand her efforts at greater subsidization of her household.
First, there is the possible government funding modern low-emissions vehicles since her standard mode of transportation has some pretty obnoxious emissions.
Then there is the need for some of the funding for home security systems since her current system is rather outmoded.
Than there is the need for charity to modernize her wardrobe which appears cumbersome and restrictive for a woman seeking gainful employment.
