In Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth II had been receiving criticisms from the public for her household expenditure, with the exception of the Prince of Wales (Prince Charles is not included in the parliament budget because his income is fully generated from the Duchy of Cornwall), all direct members of the British Royal Family, including the maintenance of the crown properties, are supported by the public funds.
