Buckingham Palace, the administrative headquarters of the British monarch, published its annual financial statements 2017-18 last month.

By all accounts, the pump, the circumstances and the pageantry associated with the royal family cost the British people 65 pence, or 86 cents, per person in the United Kingdom. Whereas the Queen, who acts as chief of state and head of the nation, does everything for less than a dollar a person, the British get "excellent value for money," according to Conservative Sir Alan Reid.

The royal family supports his family fortune with a deep portfolio of diversified investments, but members also know how to spend it. Who among the royal family spend a lot and where does the money go?

Queen Elizabeth II participated in 154 official engagements in the United States over the past year. She traveled with Prince Philip to various parts of the UK, including a trip to the University of Hull to visit the Allam Medical Building which cost about $ 40,709 (31,174 pounds).

Prince Philip terminated his official commitments on August 2, 2017, although he has chosen to attend various public events since that date.

But these members of the royal family do not just spend money – the queen pays taxes and she has done so since 1992 after volunteering to pay.

Prince Charles, heir to the throne, and his wife Camila perform a large part of the travel commitments on behalf of the royal family. As a result, they spent the most money in 2017-18, according to Clarence House.

Never skimp on luxury, Charles spent $ 474,878.02 (362,149 pounds) to visit India, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore aboard the RAF Voyager, the royal family's throw. He also traveled the Royal Train, the most expensive mode of transportation, seven times, each trip costing $ 26,000 (20,000 pounds).

During a solo trip, Charles visited Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and the British Virgin Islands following Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, and amassed an amount of $ 74,734.52.

Travel by members of the Royal Family must meet the "requirements of efficiency, safety and presentation", given the nature of travel, according to the financial statements.

In total, Prince Charles spent more than $ 11 million (8.523 million pounds) on his official duties and charitable activities.

The marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been observed around the world and is probably responsible for the rise of approximately 40% of Prince Charles's spending during the last year. Compared to the $ 4,627,500.06 (3,529,000 pounds) spent the previous taxation year, the $ 6,506,561.44 (4,962,000 pounds) that he spent this year coincide with the royal wedding.

No element of this nature explicitly mentions "royal marriage" in the financial report; However, many interpret the bucket denominated "other expense" to designate the wedding of the duke and the duchess and the engagements before the marriage.
