Pay Freeze for Queen in UK Austerity Measures
By Kevin Dolak | ABC News Blogs – 20 minutes ago

In a sign of dire economic times across the pond, Buckingham Palace is now doing some budget busting, with the queen herself due for a pay freeze and Prince Charles set to foot the bill for some major expenses.
Queen Elizabeth II will see six consecutive years of frozen pay, as new austerity measures in the U.K. have cut funding for the royal household.
Taxpayer funding for royal travel and royal palaces has also been put on the chopping block, so British taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s travels and security. The tab for the duke and duchess of Cambridge’s expenses will now be picked up by Prince Charles. The new measures also will lead to fewer royal parties and events, and no repairs for the royal palaces.
The queen has even approved renting out fancy rooms at St. James’s Palace as party venues during the 2012 London Olympics, according to the Associated Press. Companies that hold royal warrants – those that have longstanding ties to the royal family – will be given the opportunity to rent the spaces.
“You don’t really realize, but the queen is going around Buckingham Palace, turning off the lights, having fewer staff, even turning the heating down. She sometimes even writes letters in her very own fur coat,” Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Royal magazine, told ABC News.
Under the new agreement, the queen will see 15 percent of the profits every two years from the Crown Estate, whose portfolio includes Regent Street, Windsor Great Park and more than half the country’s shoreline, the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
The move is the latest by Parliament to cut the U.K.’s major deficit problem. The country’s new coalition government, led by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, introduced a series of major austerity cuts when it took power in 2010, slashing a number of programs.
Parliament does, however, recognize the huge draw that the royal family brings to the country, ushering in $785 million to Great Britain every year.

What does that ABC dunce thought, have to do with sports or entertainment?

Hispanola s last queen is a symbol of national pride...


The story of Anacaona is one of hope in the face of the genocide of the Latin American indigenous population by European colonizers. Anacaona was a leader of the Tainos, the Indians of Hispaniola, when Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Her husband, the chieftain Caonabo, was kidnapped by the Spaniards and died en route to Spain, and Anacaona fled to her brother's kingdom in what is now Haiti. A composer of ballads and poems called areitos, she too was captured by the Spaniards, who hanged her in 1503. She became a symbol of resistance to oppression and of national cultural pride.

Abc, for starter ... the Constitution of Dom. Rep. forbid Royal Titles
We have better to do than to entertain Others

A queen is not the source of national pride anymore...........

She became a symbol of resistance to oppression and of national cultural pride.

Abc, I was not referring to her (Anacaona) but to your diluted Idea
