Where does the Royal Family get its money from? 24 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Getty Images The first report into royal residences for 20 years has revealed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received rental income from sub-letting three cottages on the Royal Lodge estate. The report, by public spending watchdog the National Audit Office (NAO), also said that the King pays the rent for accommodation in royal palaces for Mountbatten-Windsor's daughters Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. The Royal Family receives tens of millions of pounds each year from the Sovereign Grant and uses it to cover the cost of official duties, but this is not the only source of their income. Andrew was sub-letting Royal Lodge cottages, watchdog reveals How much public money does the Royal Family get? The Sovereign Grant provides public funding for the running costs of the monarchy . This includes core staff costs, running expenses of the King's official household including receptions, maintenance of palaces in England and travel costs for royal engagements. For 2026-27, the Sovereign Grant stands at a record £137.9m , in the second year of a two-year hike to pay for building work at Buckingham Palace. In 2025-26, it stood at £132.1m and in 2024-25 it was £86.3m. The grant has more than tripled in real terms since it was introduced, at £31m a year, in 2012. It brought together public funding into a single payment, replacing a mix of grants from a range of government departments. However, the funds could soon be reduced for the first time. "The government is committed to bringing forward legislation to reset the grant to a lower level from 2027-28 once Buckingham Palace reservicing works are completed," Financial Secretary to the Treasury Lord Livermore told the House of Lords in March. The Treasury has said the forthcoming legislation would allow for a cut to the grant for 2027-28, but only as a one-off measure. It is not known how much the reduction would be. Separately, the Royal Household's annual financial statement said additional income increased to £21.5m in 2024-25, following a record number of visitors to Buckingham Palace. How is the Sovereign Grant worked out? Profits of the Crown Estate - a property business owned by the monarch but run independently - go to the Treasury. The level of profit is used to calculate the funding given by the government to the Royal Family. The Crown Estate had assets worth £15bn in 2024-25 , with billions of pounds worth of properties in London, including Regent Street, as well as nearly half the land along the coast of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The estate is not the King's private property but belongs to the monarch for the duration of their reign. The King cannot sell its assets or keep any profits for himself. The Sovereign Grant was initially worth 15% of the Crown Estate profits generated two years previously. That increased to 25% in 2017-18, to help pay for the Buckingham Palace repairs, before

The 80-year-old host of The Country Show and Sounds of the 70s, known as “Whispering” Bob Harris, said his health problems were forcing him to step down and that it had been “one of the hardest decisions of my entire life”. In April, he took a break from presenting and spent two weeks in hospital after undergoing a course of radiotherapy; he had sought medical advice after experiencing “excruciating pain” in his back. He was first treated for prostate cancer in 2007. In an emotional message to fans, shared on BBC Radio 2’s Instagram account on Thursday morning, he said: “I put everything I have into every show I’ve ever done, and it’s all been because of you. I feel so blessed to have had your support across so many years. Your love and loyalty mean more to me than words can ever say.” He apologised for being unable to carry on. “I am so sorry that my health issues are forcing me to step down, but I realise that I must concentrate now on getting myself well again. This has been one of the hardest decisions of my entire life, but I would never want to be doing programmes knowing that I’m unable to give you 100%. I’m really going to miss you. I love you very, very much. Thank you for listening.” Harris, who described himself as “a massive BBC loyalist”, has also had roles on Radio 1, 6 Music and BBC television, including his celebrated tenure on the award-winning music show The Old Grey Whistle Test during the 1970s. A passionate advocate for country, folk, Americana and singer-songwriters, he said he was “very, very grateful” for the freedom that the BBC had given him to build his programmes in his own way. How we made The Old Grey Whistle test Read more His broadcasting career has spanned almost 56 years and he said he had “loved every moment” he had spent behind the microphone. “It’s where I belong …. I’m very, very fortunate to have spent my entire working life doing something I love so much,” he said. Helen Thomas, the head of Radio 2, hailed Harris as “a true radio legend” as she offered him “a sincere thank you”. She said: “Bob has hosted the Radio 2 Country Show since 1999, becoming a trusted and respected tastemaker as the genre exploded i

Photograph: Alfredo Estrella/AFP/Getty Images Mexico City police teargas teachers’ protest 10 days before World Cup Teachers associated with CNTE union were marching toward Zócalo for salary raises and reversal of pension laws Riot police fired teargas at teachers who were marching toward Mexico City’s historic Zócalo plaza, just days before the square is expected to host the 2026 World Cup “Fan Fest”. The incident is the second time police have clashed with teachers in the past week, and more conflict is likely as Mexico City prepares to hold the opening game of the Fifa World Cup on 11 June. “This event will have to be suspended,” Filiberto Frausto, a union leader, told AFP, which witnessed police firing teargas on 1 June. “A cause like ours should be far above – it’s far more important than a little bit of distraction and fun.” Teachers associated with the CNTE union, which has called for salary raises and the reversal of pension laws, began threatening to protest during the World Cup in mid-May, during a march on Teacher’s Day . Pedro Hernandez Morales, general secretary of CNTE section 9 in Mexico City, warned that if demands are not met before the opening match “the ball will not roll”, Al Jazeera English reported . Demonstrating teachers on Monday had broken through one of the metal barriers blocking off the Zócalo when riot police hurled teargas at them. AFP reported that one of the protesters said he was hit by an unidentified projectile, and was taken away as blood poured from a head injury. On 26 May, Mexico News Daily reported that riot police had blocked teachers affiliated with the Oaxaca-based section 22 of the CNTE teachers union who had tried to enter the square to set up a protest camp. “They repressed us, they hit us, they pushed us,” Francisca Pérez, a teacher from Oaxaca, told the EFE news agency. Manuel López San Martín, an Azteca News journalist, shared footage on social media of police using fire extinguishers to disperse teachers. In a joint statement , the ministry of public education and ministry of the interior said the teacher’s union had been advised that it was too dangerous to gather in the historic plaza due to ongoing construction. The union has threatened to summon “millions” of teachers to the capital during the World Cup if the government doesn’t fulfill their demands, and could call for a nationwide strike .

Watch the clip in the video player above. Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., asked Blanche whether the Justice Department planned to reinstate its $1.8 billion fund following a court-mandated temporary pause. "We're not moving forward with the fund," Blanche said during a hearing before the House Appropriations Committee. Educate your inbox Subscribe to Here’s the Deal, our politics newsletter for analysis you won’t find anywhere else. The Justice Department moved to create the fund as part of a settlement with President Donald Trump to end a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leaking of his tax returns. A federal judge blocked the fund for two weeks pending additional legal arguments. On Monday, the Justice Department said it disagreed with the ruling but would comply with it. Many Senate Republicans opposed the fund and were holding up immigration enforcement funding over the issue, while other critics worried it might be used to reward rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. During the hearing on Tuesday, Blanche said his department would not move forward with the fund regardless of the outcomes of future court hearings.

The Royal Horticultural Society is bracing itself for a surge in inquiries from its members about how to deal with slugs.

Photograph: Nick Upton/Alamy Gardeners beware: slugs returning after dry weather to threaten strawberries Wetter weather expected to bring surge of slugs out of hiding, just as strawberries experience bumper early crop Entomologists in England are expecting a surge in slugs coming out of hiding to munch the nation’s strawberry plants after weeks of sun followed by wetter weather has caused a bumper crop. The Royal Horticultural Society is bracing for a surge in inquiries from its 625,000 members, who write in with their garden gripes. Workers at the RHS have also noticed a spate of slugs in the charity’s gardens, including Wisley in Surrey. Recent hot conditions, including record-breaking heatwaves , forced slugs into hiding. But now, according to Dr Hayley Jones, the principal entomologist at the RHS, the gastropods will be re-emerging, ravenous, into the damp conditions caused by this week’s torrential rain. “We have had such a long dry spring that they are all going to pop up at once. Slugs are really good at hiding out when conditions are not ideal and then popping out,” Dr Jones said. She added: “They will be really hungry and all coming out at once into people’s gardens.” This is a bad time for a horde of hungry gastropods to be entering gardens; strawberries, for example, are fruiting early because of the sunny weather. Many people are also planting beans and lettuces after recent warm days. “Lots of vegetables are being planted at the moment. Strawberries are ahead of schedule for fruiting and slugs like to feed on them. A bit of leaf damage doesn’t make much impact but when they feed on the fruit that is a problem, we don’t want to be sharing fruit with slugs,” she said, adding, “The seedlings have only just gone out and if they get fed on now then it might slow down their growth.” However, gardeners should “ideally not” kill the slugs, no matter how irritating they are, Dr Jones said. “They are just part of garden biodiversity trying to survive so we’d rather they didn’t get killed.” Instead, she recommends spreading straw around the strawberries as slugs don’t like crawling on it, and keeping unplanted seedlings in for a bit longer, and putting them higher up such as on a garden table. For those plagued by gastropods, Dr Jones also recommends: “Night-time searches to find slugs and relocate them, preferably to your compost heap as then they will be just helping with the recycling process.” Asked whether they could be deposited in a neighbours’ garden, she said: “I don’t know if that’s good for neighbour relations.” View image in fullscreen Recent hot weather has driven strawberries to fruit early.

Photograph: Vuk Valcic/ZUMA Press Wire/REX/Shutterstock UK will not have to pay Rwanda £100m over failed asylum scheme, court rules Rwanda had sued UK government over alleged breach of agreement, after scheme scrapped by Labour on first day in office The UK will not have to pay the Rwandan government millions of pounds over a failed migrant deportation scheme set up by Boris Johnson’s administration, an international court has ruled. The east African nation had sued the current UK government for more than £100m, claiming it was owed after a breach of an agreement. But after a three-day hearing at The Hague’s permanent court of arbitration in the Netherlands , judges ruled that the UK was not liable for two years of outstanding costs from the scheme, which was shelved in 2024. Johnson, then prime minister, sealed a deal in 2022 with Kigali to send to Rwanda all asylum seekers arriving on UK shores after “dangerous or illegal journeys” in small boats or lorries. But the scheme hit legal and political obstacles from the start, with the UK supreme court eventually ruling it illegal. When Keir Starmer became British prime minister in July 2024, he declared the plan “dead and buried” on his first full day in office, dismissing it as a “gimmick”. During the case, lawyers representing the UK argued it was “entirely logical” the plan would be scrapped when Labour came into power after the 2024 general election and “simple common sense” that no further payments would be due.

Photograph: Victoria Jones/PA During the two years before the scheme was scrapped, only four people actually went to Rwanda, all voluntarily, according to the current UK government. About £290m has been paid to Rwanda, the UK government website says, but Kigali argued in its pre-hearing submissions to the court that two annual payments of £50m were still outstanding. According to legal papers, Rwanda asked the court to find the UK in breach of the agreement and demanded it pay all outstanding sums, as well as compensation. Lawyers for the UK denied it had breached parts of the deal and said: “Rwanda is not entitled to any of the forms of relief it seeks” when asking the court to dismiss the claims. Earlier this year, Downing Street defended the decision to scrap the previous Tory administration’s plan when it emerged Rwanda was taking the UK to court. Before the election, the Conservative government had already spent £700m on its policy, under which migrants who arrived in the UK by boat from France would be sent to Kigali in an attempt to deter Channel crossings.
