The Princess Royal pays a visit to medical research charity the Wellcome Trust
© Wellcome Trust The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are the only members of the Royal Family who receive an annual parliamentary allowance for public duties. Other than The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh is the only member of the Royal Family to receive an annual parliamentary allowance to enable him to carry out official public duties supporting The Queen. Since 1993, The Queen has repaid to the Treasury the annual parliamentary allowances received by other members of the Royal Family. Most of the allowances received by members of the Royal Family are spent on staff who support their public engagements and correspondence. In 2000 the annual amounts payable to members of the Royal Family (which are set every ten years) were reset at their 1990 levels for the next ten years, until December 2010. Apart from an increase of £45,000 on the occasion of The Earl of Wessex’s marriage, these amounts remain as follows: |
