What a load of waffle, we own the buildings, we pay to see them and we are paying for the revamp. Why doesn't she sell a couple of paintings

It puts the 50 million that the Government offered for flood relief in the North of the U.K. Into perspective though, doesn't it?
Our village needs £50 million alone and we know we won't get any where near that amount.
It Is a question of priorities

Queen's official residences to undergo £37m tourism revamp The transformations are aimed at giving the public greater access to two of the Queen's official residences.

Before anyone get hot under the collar thinking that they as taxpayers will be funding this, here is a quote from the website of The Royal collection
"The care and conservation of the Royal Collection is funded entirely by Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity, with income raised from the public opening of Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and from associated trading activities. This income also supports educational activities, loans and projects to increase public access and enjoyment. The activities of Royal Collection Trust are undertaken without recourse to public funds."
