Queen Elizabeth II - My Fake Diary

The latest in royal belt-tightening comes from Spain, where King Juan Carlos has cut his own salary, and that of his son and heir Prince Felipe, by about 7%, in support of the effect of austerity measures on his citizens.

The budget for Queen Beatrix, Crown Prince Willem Alexander and his wife Princess Maxima was cut in 2011 by €422,000 to €39.2 million.
King Albert II pledged this year to use part of his salary to help pay for the upkeep on his properties.

If that helps?
