Camilla will not receive the 400,000 euros per year from the British Parliament that Prince Philip did charge as a consort

The wife of Charles III will not receive the income that the British Parliament allocated annually to the previous monarch consort of the United Kingdom, the prince philipwho every year received 359,000 pounds (419,000 euros) for his official commitments.

This has been made clear in the report by the National Audit Office (NAO) on the finances of the British Royal House, which reveals that the activities carried out Camilla Parker-Bowles they will be paid with money withdrawn from the Sovereign Fund and that the consort will not be assigned a separate payment.

The document suggests that the new reign of the princes’ father Guillermo y Harrywith a schedule that is expected to be busier than that of his mother, the queen Isabel IIin its later years, could “substantially alter future financing needs.”

The late Duke of Edinburgh continued to receive the aforementioned sum of 419,000 euros each year despite changes in the way royal activities were paid for by the taxpayer. In this way, the old Civil List, from which his wife received a payment and various subsidies from the Government to cover official expenses, was replaced by the so-called Sovereign Fund, which is based on a percentage of the benefits of the Crown Estate (British Crown lands and properties). However, a new legislation introduced in 2011 maintained a clause that affected Prince Felipe, who retired from his official activities in 2017 and died in 2021, so that he would continue to receive his annual income for life.

The report also points out that the future program of official acts of King Carlos III could affect future financing: “Each king and queen have their own interests and priorities that affect their calendar of activities.” In this way, the document recalls that Elizabeth II “cut expenses on events and travel in recent years, partly due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.” “It can be reasonably assumed that the King will organize more events and travel to more engagements within the UK and abroad at the request of the Government,” the text explains.
