Tax spent on royal family to go into the NHS instead

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The royal family should not be receiving any amount of tax payers money. They have enough money already and in a time of national crisis it is time to put that money into the NHS.
I can't even believe we already pay for these already rich people to keep being rich while the NHS which is keeping people alive and well, a basic human right need, is struggling.

It is time to stop funding the royals

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about how the monarchy is funded, but the funding for the Monarchy is a proportion of the sovereign's income from the Crown Estate, and not funded by taxpayers. You can find out more here: https://www.royal.uk/royal-finances-0
