Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Sovereign Grant is paid annually to the monarch by the Government in order to fund the Monarch's official duties. The monarchy is responsible for deciding how to spend the Sovereign Grant and so the UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for making these spending decisions.

You can find out more about the grant here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance

You could start a new petition asking for a reduction in the Sovereign Grant, if that is something you would like to see happen.
