Queen Camila will not receive an independent salary, but her official activities will be financed by the Sovereign Fund
Queen Camila, wife of Carlos III. will not receive rent which was awarded annually by the British Parliament to the previous spouse of the monarch of the United Kingdom, Prince Philip, who received 359,000 pounds (419,000 euros) for his official duties.
This is clear from the report published this Friday by the so-called National Audit Office (NAO) on the finances of the Royal House of this country, which reveals that the activities carried out by the wife of Carlos III. it will be paid with money drawn from the so-called State Fund and that no special payment will be awarded to the spouse.
An independent report by the royal household regulator examines the royal family’s funding structures as part of the NAO’s work to improve transparency.
The document highlights various considerations for the future and suggests that the new reign of Carlos III, with a program that will be predicted to be busier that the one carried by his mother, Elizabeth II, in her later years, could “significantly alter future funding needs”.
The report compares Camila’s situation to that of her late father-in-law Duke of Edinburghand confirms that “Queen Camila will not receive a separate annual income” but that her official activities “will be financed by the Sovereign Fund”.
Father of Carlos III. he continued to receive the aforementioned sum of £359,000 each year despite changes in the way taxpayers paid for royal activities.
This is how it ages Civil listfrom whom Elizabeth II. received a payment and several subsidies from the government to cover official expenses, it was replaced by the previously mentioned State Fund, which is based on a percentage of profits Crown estate (British Crown Lands and Estates).
However, a new law introduced in 2011 kept the clause that affected Prince Felipe, who retired from his affairs in 2017 and died in 2021, to continue receiving annual living income.
The report also points out that King Carlos III’s future program of official acts could affect future funding.
“Every king and queen has their own own interests and priorities which affect their calendar of activities,” the document states.
With this, the report reminds that the late Elizabeth II “reduced the costs of events and travel in recent years, partly due to the global Covid-19 pandemic”.
“It can be reasonably assumed that the king will organize more events and travel more engagements within the UK and abroad at the request of the Government”, that text foresees.
