Re: Buckingham Palace to get £369million modernisation works
No. The agreement cannot be modified by either party. The ONLY change that can be made is that the Crown Estate is handed back to the Monarch and that won't happen as it is a cash cow for the country.
Last year the Crown Estate's property evaluation was £12 billion with a £304.1 million net revenue profit

What do you expect? It's Government owned and run, they want to squeeze every penny out of it.

You'd better tell that to the trustees including the pm and chancellor then as they think different

It's a temp rise to pay for the repairs ,the usual 15% will still be used to run the royal household

A report by the Public Accounts Committee said the Royal Household was "not looking after nationally important heritage properties adequately", saying that in March 2012, 39% of the royal estate was "below what the household deemed to be an acceptable condition".

The occupied royal palaces are held in trust for the nation by the Queen but the cost of maintaining them falls on the government.
