Sovereign Grant

The Sovereign Grant is the funding provided by the UK government to support the official duties and expenses of the British monarch, including public engagements and maintenance of royal residences. It is financed primarily by profits from the Crown Estate, a collection of commercial properties owned by the monarchy. The grant is reviewed and set annually, ensuring transparency and accountability. Its purpose is to enable the monarchy to fulfill its ceremonial, representative, and constitutional functions without relying on personal or private funds.
