Rejected petition Make Royals Pay for Palace Renovation

Buckingham Palace is about to be given a £369m refurbishment. Tax payers are paying for it. The Crown and its estates should be made to fund its own renovations.

More details

The queen is said to be worth nearly half a billion pounds and have assets of nearly 11 billion pounds.

We're living in a time where austerity is forcing more and more cuts. The NHS is struggling and we have a huge social housing crisis.

We should not be using public money on such low priority things. Make the queen take a loan like the rest of us would be expected to do. If they earn enough money from tourism that should pay for the repairs not the tax payers money.
