Royal Funding.

King Charles should NOT be funded by government, according to six in 10 young people.

A YouGov poll found that 51 percent of Brits think the upcoming Coronation should not be funded by the government.

Moral dilemma.

The King, George III, agreed to surrender the hereditary revenues of the Crown, in return for the Civil List. Under this arrangement, the Crown Estate remained the property of the sovereign, but the hereditary revenues of the crown were placed at the disposal of Parliament – The House of Commons.

1) If Royal funding is no longer met by The Civil List - there is a moral obligation to restore all future monies known in the past as 'hereditary revenues'. Any other course would be no more than theft.

It is my understanding that a breaking of the original agreement would result in a mighty shortfall which should cost the nation a truly humongous sum.

2) I must confess to having forgotten the source but I once read that maintaining the Head of State in non-royal Germany is actually more expensive than what our taxpayers pay to fund ours.
