Queen 'may have to move out of Buckingham Palace' amid £150m revamp
Around £150 million needs to be spent on a major revamp of Buckingham Palace, according to royal sources - and the Queen may need to move out while the work is done.
The full scale of the refurbishment project was outlined as the annual royal financial statement was released, revealing the official figure for royal expenditure was £35.7 million - the equivalent of 56p per person.
The sum, known as the Sovereign Grant, will help pay for some of the works, though additional funding may be needed.
