Huh? i thought the PM stated that instead of the entire Royal House being able to declare their private travel costs the group would be limited to those receiving a State income (HM, the prince and his wife)???
I agree that it is unbelievable how absent HM seems in this current crisis. Im stunned she did not gather the right kind of people in her household to warn her for these consequences. Much of the upheaval is predictable and could have been prevented if the Royal House itself had acted. Having to wait until parliament starts asking questions and wants changes is not exactly smart or good PR for the institution.
