The Friday File: Times are so tough the Queen of England is feeling it. She is set to receive £30 million/year for the next several years, down from the £77.3 million she received some time ago. Worse, Prince Charles who makes about £18 million/year must now support the court of Prince William and Princess Kate as well Prince Harry and his future family. Times are so tough the queen is even renting out rooms at St. James Palace.
