And yet you're still expected to foot William and Kate's multi-million renovation bills (FYI - the Middletons also got a nice expansion on their home, a new roof & new kitchen all on your dime, folks). Your priorities suck!

So, why are we paying for the dooms house to be extended and a new kitchen?

Also, seems HM has to find the money for a lot of the security from the Sovereign Grant, the one that we are always being told doesn´t cover everything.  The very same fund that paid 8m for willy boy´s new helicopter no less.  Strange how HM finds money for that, and over 4m in renovatiaons for KP, goodness knows how much for Anmer Hall, but can´t find the money for leaks in the roof at Buckingham Palace to be fixed and has to resort to buckets on the floor to catch the water.
