Analysis of the data by the BBC shows Capita was the biggest private sector recipient of taxpayers' money - and that Prince Charles got a cheque from the Ministry of Justice for £667,000 - rent for Dartmoor prison, which is on his land. He was also paid £677,000 by the Army for access to Dartmoor.

2.5 Million according to the BBC 10 oclock news.

.. and the income from the wedding and the Royal family in tourism alone is calculated in billions not millions!

Get off their backs. They bring in far more money to this country than they cost.

If you want to see wasted money then just have a little look at Brussels and the cost of the EU. £42 million a DAY we pay for that privilege!!!

as a footnote - just see how far the good news travels:
