What is the source of income for the British royal family?

The sources of income are mainly divided into the following ways:

A financial allocation of 17.9 million pounds a year, which is mainly used for the daily expenses of the Queen as the head of state, that is, the Queen's "salary". In addition, subsidies such as royal court operation and maintenance fees and royal travel transportation fees come from taxpayers.

2. The Queen also owns the sovereign real estate "Duchy of Lancaster", with considerable operating income, but it can only be used to subsidize the daily expenses of the royal family, not as personal income. The queen has no right to sell, only the right to manage and operate.

3. Income from royal estates, farms and private territories is not taxable. And tickets for the opening income of buildings managed by the royal family.

4. Consulting fees, because of the neutrality of the British royal family, a large number of politicians hope to get advice from the royal family.

Extended information:

1. Britain is a constitutional monarchy country, and the British royal family is a symbol of national strength.

2. Although the King of England does have substantive powers, such as dissolving parliament, declaring war, warning, etc. (there is no substantive power difference with the Japanese emperor). However, the king of England is only the supreme ruler and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in form. His power was already ceded to the actual leader of the government, the Prime Minister and the Parliament (which are now elected by people) in the Bill of Rights in 1689.

3. The Prime Minister can consult with the king on major issues, and the king can exercise the right of suggestion and warning, but the decision-making power is made by the parliament and the Prime Minister, but it will be recognized and effective with the consent of the king.
