I've never understood the upset about the grant, considering that it was only awarded in return for the Royal Family paying tax on private income and giving up all Crown Estate profits. In 20/21, the Crown Estate earned the taxpayer nearly a quarter of a billion and the Royal Grant was £80m or so.
Given that the Queen is reputed to have half a billion of private wealth squirelled away, its impossible to know where this ££ is coming from.
Anyway, for the Royal Thread.
