The government has proposed an overall DKR 19.1 million annual increase to 143.6 million in the Civil List with a one time amount in 2024 of DKR 28.7 million to cover expenses incurred from the changeover of staff, etc. I have not broken down which member gets what amount.
The government proposes that the state will now be responsible for the interior maintenance and upkeep of the castles which are state owned and occupied by members of the Royal Family.
Another development is that the government proposes that the state take over the main building of Sorgenfri Castle which, at present, is at the disposal of the sovereign. This building has not been resided in since the death of Princess Caroline-Mathilde. Princess C-M's younger son and daughter-in-law and later her daughter (all deceased) resided in a different building on the castle grounds. I understand that the outer buildings will remain at the disposal of the sovereign.
