Err, no, BBC, it didn't cost "the government" £162m.
The government doesn't have money of its own.
It's the taxpayers' money.
Still waiting to see the final tally for that fancy dress party back on 6 May...

960 followers · 983 posts · Server fediscience.orgExcellent and important series of investigative articles on the vast properties and income of the British Crown, and how the monarchs conceal it.
As the sovereign, the monarch can directly influence legislation for their own benefit. And this was done by Elizabeth II.
The monarchy's wealth is ill-gotten over the course of history involving genocide, exploitation and dispossession.
