And his ex wife gets a share in it.
It bothers me that this is how our money is being used. Unfortunately we have no say how the monarchy uses our tax money.
Their website claims:
In reality, the Royal Household is committed to ensuring that public money is spent as wisely and efficiently as possible
I dont think giving Fergie a multi million pound luxury chalet to indulge herself in fits the bill.

Well at least it diverts attention away from the claims he had sex with an underage girl
They do have investments and interest in businesses.
However the money is not public money , he does not receive money from the Sovereign Grant , the Queen bought him Sunninghill from personal not public funds when it was sold at a huge profit years later that money will have been put into a savings account and now will be used to buy the chalet.
But then the girl herself surely did that when in 2011 she categorically denied in several media interviews there was any sexual relationship with the Prince, now it is a compensation case she sates differently.
Fergie's reward for publicly supporting him.
I wonder if his assets will be frozen if he is charged with anything? if so, will they be returned to their rightful owners, (us) ?
Then again I expect he will need the money to pay for the best lawyers.
How are his assets ours ? unless you are talking about the entire families personal wealth which goes back hundreds of years , so like that any property we own and live in hundreds of years ago was taken from a peasant farmer, given to a Lord eventually sold to a council or developer so we should all hand back any property to its rightful owners ?
And you may be a subject the rest of us have not been since 1983, it even says so in our passports.
Yes, we own the royal family, and one day I hope that every single penny i returned to their rightful owners, the people of this land.
Parasitic waste of pace, every single one of them.
So as I said like that the house you live in should be returned to its rightful owner as that land was taken from someone originally.
I understand he's on holiday at present, though. A holiday from what exactly I'm not entirely sure.
Rich bloke spends his own money and buys a new property? Is there any reason why he shouldn't?
Yes, it's not his money- it's taxpayers money!
And the money for these originally came from.........?
When did the taxpayer give it to him ? even the tabloids are not claiming that one.
Not from the old Civil List or the Sovereign Grant it comes from family money , now whether that comes from lands taken hundreds of years ago is irrelevant (unless we make everyone's houses and land today now relevant to that) it did not come from todays taxpayer.
Also the chalet is thought to be worth between £9 and £13 million pounds not that he has paid £17 million and he has taken out a mortgage on it.
What makes you think that it is our tax money. He does come from a wealthy family.
no we don't. Slavery has been abolished.
Great timing too. I suspect Andy is a lot more popular with Republicans that he is with Monarchists still no one can please everyone.
How is that obvious? Or is it meant to be amusing and that being rich is something to be ashamed of?
I wish I had similar reason for shame.
Relax I was just having a laugh. I have been paying tax for fifty years (which is more than any of the RF can claim) some of which has gone to pay for them so I can treat myself to something at their expense if it is only a chuckle.
