News of the potential payrise came as Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Alan Reid revealed how the royals have spent the £40.1 million they were given in April 2015 - amounting to 62p per person per year in Britain.
王室在2015年4月獲得4010萬英鎊,相當于英國國民為此每年人均付出62便士.女王可能加薪一事傳來的同時,王室司庫負責人艾倫•里德爵士透露了這筆收入的花銷情況.
He also stressed they have added to this by raising £13.9 million of their own money including through renovating and renting out apartments.
爵士還強調,王室除此收入外,還有1390萬英鎊的私人收入,包括整修和出租房屋的所得.
Last year it was reported they were renting one in St James's Palace thought to bring in nearly £250,000 per year.
報道稱,王室去年出租了圣詹姆斯宮的一套房子,據認為帶來了近25萬英鎊的年收入.
Prince Charles also revealed that his income from the Duchy of Cornwall estate rose to more than £20 million for the first time to £20.467 million up from £19.845 million the previous year.
查爾斯王子也透露,他從康沃爾公爵領地獲得的收入從前一年的1984.5萬英鎊上升到2046.7萬英鎊,首次超過了2000萬英鎊.
Expenditure on the area of his accounts that funds Prince William, Kate and Harry was also up 9.5% from £2.965 million to £3.249 million, although officials would not say how much of the increase was down to the three young royals or itemise how that money was spent.
查爾斯王子賬戶上用于威廉夫婦和哈里王子的支出也從296.5萬英鎊上升到324.9萬英鎊,上漲9.5%.不過官方不會說明上漲的支出有多少是因為這三位年輕的王室成員,也不會詳細列明錢是怎么花出去的.
The bill for royal travel was down to £4 million from £5.1 million the previous year, but there were still some eye-watering travel costs billed to the taxpayer including a £94,409 charter plane for Prince Charles and Camilla's tour of the Balkans in March.
王室旅行開支從前一年的510萬英鎊降至400萬,但納稅人依然要承擔一些巨額旅行開銷,比如查爾斯王子和卡米拉三月訪問巴爾干半島時所花的9萬4409英鎊包機費.
