The Queen is to receive an 8% increase in income from public funds, after the Crown Estate's profits rose by £24m.

The Sovereign Grant, which pays for the salaries of her household, official travel and upkeep of palaces, is to increase by more than £6m in 2018/19.

It comes as accounts revealed the Queen's official net expenditure last year increased by £2m, to almost £42m.

Sir Alan Reid, Keeper of the Privy Purse, said the Queen represented "excellent value for money".






Royal accounts - some key figures

£82.2m - Amount the Queen is expected to get from the Sovereign Grant in 2018/2019

£4.5m - Cost of the Queen and the Royal Family's official travel

£288,697 - Amount spent on the Royal Train travel for 14 trips

£1.2m - Cost of replacing doors on the orangery at Windsor Castle Laugh

£154,000 - Estimated cost of Prince Charles and Camilla using "Cam Force One" - the official government plane - to visit Italy, Romania and Austria
