Elizabeth II's income almost doubles

The UK Queen Elizabeth II's income has almost doubled, reaching £82 million, The Guardian reported.

STEPANAKERT, JUNE 27, ARTSAKHPRESS: The increase in the revenue is connected with a government decision to allocate funds to cover extensive repairs at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen’s share of the last year’s profits amounted to £82.2m, but she will have to wait until 2019, as her income from the estate is paid two years in arrears.

Last year the Queen’s take was £42.8m, and in 2012 it was £29.1m.
