I’m not worried about how many properties the Queen owns. I’ve often said I have a foot in both camps re the royals. I recognise the fact that we have to have a Head of State, and it’s more than possible that an elected or proposed by government Head of State would cost us huge amounts of money, and the possibility is there for corruption. However having looked at the links provided, it seems clear that the amount of public money going in increasing amounts to the Queen is totally unjustified, especially during a long period of austerity over some ten years.
The royal family is rich beyond imaginings with their private wealth. I realise that as the Queen is our Head of State she should receive an allowance as she needs to pay wages, maintain buildings etc. The steady increases are absolutely not justified at all.
