Slash the sovereign grant paid to the royal family using taxpayers money
Austerity has led to major cuts in vital services; including the police force, NHS and other social services. All the while, in this financial year alone, for example, the total Sovereign Grant was £82.2 million — using taxpayers money. As British people, we must decide where our priorities lie.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Sovereign Grant is fixed at a percentage of the income from the Crown Estate so is already self-funded.
