. Not many people may know about the Queen Mother, but when it comes to , the mother of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, may be known to everyone. The queen is very frugal, but her mother's life is too luxurious.
I believe everyone knows that British royal family members are very frugal, and the queen is the best example. One of her bags can last for forty years. She uses "second-hand" sheets and quilt covers. She often eats leftovers. She always remembers to turn off the lights casually. Even Prince Charles is very frugal. He has worn patched clothes. The Queen's mother is different, she has never been frugal.
The Queen's Mother is not a troublesome person. She spends money all year round and spends all her money on luxury hobbies, like her, spending tens of millions of dollars on French champagne, horse racing and parties. In addition, she bought five castles, one of which was as high as 160 million yuan, and the annual maintenance cost of the castle was over one million yuan.
Surprisingly, after the Queen's mother bought the castle above, she only stayed there for six weeks a year. She often appears in some high-end hotels in London, such as the Clarridge Hotel and the Ritz Hotel in London. In addition, the Queen's mother had many people serving her, and it was said that there were many servants around her, with 80 people.
The Queen's mother lived such a luxurious life, of course she spent a lot of money. She received a subsidy of 5.4 million yuan from the British royal family a year, but this is far from enough. Where do other money come from? The queen would pay her 100 to 20 million yuan, and Prince Charles, who loved her the most, would pay a small portion of the money for her grandmother, which would be enough to pay some of the servants around her.
How much does the Queen’s Mother cost in a year? No one knows the specific number, but it will be at least 30 million. One year the bank sent a bill to the British royal family, which showed that the queen owed the bank 30 million. Having overdrawn so much money, she still doesn't want to reduce her expenses or pay off her debts by selling jewelry.
If you want to talk about the speed of spending money, then there is really nothing but her. Even the British royal family's best spending Megan doesn't seem to be as good at spending money as she does, let alone Princess Kate.
Seeing that her mother spent so much money, the queen was very angry and unwilling to repay her mother's huge bills, but the queen is the queen's daughter after all, so there is no reason why her daughter loses her temper with her mother. In the end, she still had to compromise, so the queen's mother became even more bold when she spent money.
The queen's hobbies are so expensive, so she loves money very much. At one point, she wanted to be the queen in order to control the financial power of the British royal family. After her husband, George VI, died, she began to compete with her daughter for the throne, and was later stopped by the then British Prime Minister.
The then British Prime Minister Churchill Seeing this scene, he thought of a lot of ways to get the Queen Mother to give the throne to her daughter. It is said that he finally gave her some money to settle the farce.
The Queen's mother spent too much money in the British royal family, but her daughter's generation began to advocate frugality. Under the leadership of the Queen, the royal family members were no longer as luxurious as they used to be and became more and more popular among the British people.
From the queen, we did not see any shadow of her mother. It is obvious that she was not affected by her mother at all. It is really amazing. Few people can do this.
