Five Per Cent Increase While Public Pay Cut
The day after the government declared that public sector pay should be reduced again, it increased the public handout to the Windsor clan by 5.2%.
The pay rise followed a 5.2% increase in the profits of the “Crown Estate”, a vast public property holding. Since 2012 the feudal family have been given 15% of the Estate’s profits. But if the Estate’s profits ever fall the family’s handout will not be cut.
