The Queen's personal wealth is estimated to be £350million and the Republic democracy group reckons the lot privileged clan cost taxpayers £345m a year.

There have been recent reports the Queen tried to hide the extent of her wealth in the 70s and her grandaughter's husband Mike Tindall has claimed furlough for his company during the pandemic.
