These are always poor comparisons. There are different costs associated with them (from their duties or even country / population sizes). And their existence also brings different revenue to the countries.
The author couldn’t remember the name of the country the Dutch live in.
Not worth their money IMO.
TBH these spendings are ludicrously low compared to how much some enterpreneurs spend and how much they evade in taxes.
And how much do they generate?
Edit – Downvotes are lame. What’s the problem with the question?
Hey those countries are so happy with their monarchy. This is the reason why they keep and feed it. I can’t blame them at all though I am not a monarchist and I am happily living in a country without a king or queen.
😐 after what Andrew did in the last 5 years I wouldn’t want that family representing the UK with a 10 ft barge pole
The Norwegian royal family is more of a disgrace.
It’s even more expensive to have presidents. And each citizen of the UK only spends £2 a month to maintain the monarchy. And the Crown Estate gives back more money to the government.
Monaco spending looks a little out of whack. I wonder if the finances of the state and the house of Grimaldi are commingled somehow
The 9 million for the Spanish crown are not real. Many many expenses are assigned to other offices, with the clear intention to make up the figures.
Spanish guy is cheap. No wonder he gets entangled in scandals regularly.
I dont mind !
Monarchy isn’t just a matter of money. It also serves to entrench the mindset of ‘I’m better than you by virtue of birth’. It’s fundamentally unfair. Like religious belief or the desire for strongman’s leadership, it belongs in the infancy of our species, and I hope we will one day move on.
Something to bear in mind here is that these countries vary dramatically by size.
The UK is by far the biggest with only the Netherlands having a similar number of people.
It’s better to adjust these relative to population, in which case the most absurd monarchy here is Monaco. It’s only 36,000 people, which means Monaco spends 1200 euro per person on it’s monarchy, while the UK spends just over 2 euro per person on the monarchy. 2 euro per person is not exactly a grievously expensive cost.
There are legitimate reasons to abolish the monarchy, but I don’t think cost is really one of them.
UK: They don’t have enough money for immigrant facilities, efficient public transport, efficient public healthcare etc…but they have €147 Millions for an incestuous family
Country,Total Annual Cost,Cost per Capita
Netherlands,€41.4 million,€2.40
Belgium,€11.6 million,€1.04
Denmark,€10.6 million,€1.84
Norway,€29 million,€5.80
Sweden,€13.2 million,€1.30
Spain,€7.8 million,€0.17
Luxembourg,€10 million,€17.00
United Kingdom,£89.1 million (€105.9 million),€1.58
Monaco,€36.6 million,€938.46
Not really a relevant comparison when you consider we had a funeral and coronation in the same tax year. I’d expect our figure to be high, but this needs to account for 2023 being an unusual year.
More or less comparable with our presidential palace that has 11.7 million € budget. All the properties, palaces, castles and whatever else the monarchs have to manage from the budget have to be factored in as well.
Wait, Belgium has a royal family?
Dreaming of the days UK no longer has the monarchy ✨
Drop on the ocean for UK gov spending. NHS spends that amount in a day
Monarchies have no place in the EU.
For Denmark, the royal house almost definitely brings huge profits. Rather than an anonymous president that changes every for years, the King travels the world as a cultural phenomenon with great PR value, often with business delegations, to promote Denmark and Danish business.
For a country where half our GDP is dependent on exports, this is tremendous PR.
I couldn’t personally be less interested in the royal family but I’m definitely a supporter – just for financial reasons.
It is, of course, difficult to measure. But what this doesn’t not take into account is also the expenses of having a president for head of state rather than a king/queen.
It’s not only the Dutch people, it’s all the people that pay taxes here even though he’s not their king.
Spanish efficiency. I like it.
The last absolute monarchy in europe is missing. The king of the vatican.
Still find it silly that some naturalization tests require to swear loyalty to the Crown even if you are not applying for a job in government….but alas 🤷🏽♂️
The British crown is estimated to bring in 2billion In tourism
