The Queen is hiring once again - but critics have spotted that some salaries are not exactly princely.
Buckingham Palace sparked scorn with its job advert offering a £25,000 a year job for a security role to keep the royal family safe.
The job overseeing vetting duties at the palace, as well as at Windsor Castle, Sandringham and Balmoral, requires experience and a degree.
One of the job's most rewarding features is "knowing that you're helping to protect a world famous institution," according to the ad.
But the salary is a drop in the bucket compared to the royals' own fabulous wealth and lavish lifestyles, our columnist Liam Gilliver writes.

He says the argument royal bills should be shouldered by the taxpayer because they bring in tourism cash rings ever more hollow as the monarchy's scandals chip away at public support for the 'Firm'.
The hourly wage security for the palace's latest 37.5 hour a week one-year fixed term position amounts to roughly £12.80 an hour - higher than the London Living Wage of £10.85.
But it is still £6,000 lower than the median annual earnings for full-time employees in the UK.
And the successful candidate still has to pay tax and national insurance before considering their cost of living in the pricy capital.

Liam writes: "Meanwhile, the Queen and her family cost the British people £67 million a year, have weddings priced at more than £23 million and a laundry bill of £500,000.
"Just imagine how much higher it would be if Andrew could sweat."
So does it pay to work for the royals? We had a look at some other plum positions.
Horse whisperer
The Queen famously adores her horses and has passed on her passion down generations of the royal family.
Her Majesty was pictured last year riding her fell pony at Windsor Castle in one of her first public appearances since the lockdown ended.
In 2019, the monarch was seeking a 'liveried helper' to look after her horses at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace.
Responsibilities included exercising and training the horses, readying them for their ceremonial roles, and cleaning their stables for a salary of £22,400 per year - but it does come with an enviable live-in position at Palace.
Chef
Last year, the palace advertised for an experienced chef to join Buckingham Palace and travel to other royal residences.
The annual salary for whipping up meals fit for the Queen came in just over £22,000 - but the successful candidate won't have to worry about power bills and council tax.
The live-in position includes a room at the plush palace and meals on duty.
In 2018, the palace advertised for a "ambitious and qualified" Demi Chef de Partie to prepare its glitzy state banquets and receptions.
Perks include travelling to other royal residences, such as Balmoral and Sandringham - but the cost of the commutes would be deducted from a salary of just over £21k.
Trainee butler
Buckingham Palace advertised for a trainee butler role at Buckingham Palace with an £18,850 salary in 2017.
If that sounds a bit tight, the successful candidate could also take the 'live-in' option (with an even lower salary) - but with all meals included and a grand palace to call home.
IT expert
The royal households show off all the trappings of centuries-old traditional life, but it's looking for an expert to help it modernise.
A currently open vacancy for an IT expert to look after the Royal Archives and information systems is offering £60-65,000 a year.
The information security job ad calls for someone to discreetly handle the royal records with 'integrity and confidentiality'.
