"I think this is where the Community Energy Funding is directed and ties in with most allocations going to community heating schemes run by local authorities, housing associations, universities etc.,” wrote an official in an email to the palace, adding,The British royal family has always been under criticism for spending taxpayers’ money on its lavish lifestyle. Some reports have put the expenses at 202 million pounds each year.
“I also feel a bit uneasy about the probable adverse press coverage if the Palace were given a grant at the expense of say a hospital."
