    There is a formula to make out the level of rents staff have to pay to either the Crown Estate or the royal Household because they have to live on the estate.

    It works out as equivalent to 16.7% of their gross pensionable salary.

    What the fuck??? That’s for staff, not working royals, so the guy who used to iron Andrew’s shoelaces had to pay 1/6 of his pre-tax salaries in rent to live somewhere he didn’t choose.
