Gather round royal fans...
I think we need a refresher about how royal finances work.
Money spent on royal buildings comes from the Sovereign Grant. The amount of money the Queen gets is based on the yearly revenue from the Crown Estate. She doesn’t ask the government for money as and when she needs it, and she doesn’t get to decide how much she gets. They give her a lump sum and she spends it how she likes.
So when people say a certain royal spent x amount of money on something, this is not new money. This money had already been given to the Queen to spend how she sees fit. For example, let’s pretend Harry said that his house was falling apart and it needed renovations of £2million. That £2million would come from the taxpayer. But it would come from money that the Queen would have received from us no matter what. It was always going to be spent on something. I think people are under the impression that royals ask for £2million which is being taken away from schools or hospitals and given to them. It isn’t. It is money that the Queen always had in her possession, money she can choose how to spend, and money that would always have been spent one way or another. Now I am not saying whether I agree with spending quite that much money on renovations but I think people should understand how it works.

Prince Daniel of Sweden delivers an admirable speech to his new wife, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, at their wedding dinner, 19 June 2010. [x]
Prince Daniel uses no notes and even gives parts of his speech in English. He’s nervous and emotional but so impressive and heartfelt. One of my favorite of the royal weddings speeches, if not my absolute favorite. So many wonderful moments, including the long ovation.
Your Majesties, Your Imperial Highness, Your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear family and friends, dear Victoria…
Crown Princess Victoria. Princess of Sweden. Princess of my heart. Nine years ago I had the privilege to get to know a young woman with a great sense of humor and a great sense of duty and who was very, very intelligent. We became friends. The more I got to know her, the more irresistible she became. These couple of years with you, Victoria, have gone by in a wink and have been the best years of my life.
There have been times when Victoria’s official duties have separated us. Often taking her to far away countries and continents. I will never forget some years ago when she left for one of her many trips. This time to China. We were going to be apart for a whole month. The night before she left, she got home late after an official engagement and she had many preparations to make for the long month of duties ahead. Instead of getting some valuable sleep, she stayed up the whole night…writing. In the morning after she had gone, I found a box, and in that box, I found 30 beautiful letters addressed to me. One for every day she would be away. This romantic gesture is typical of you, Victoria. It says everything about the loving person you are.
Once upon a time, the young man was perhaps not a frog in the beginning of the fairytale as in the story first told by the Grimm Brothers, but he was certainly not a prince. The first kiss did not change that. His transformation was not possible without the support of the wise King and Queen who had ruled the kingdom for many years and who were full of wisdom, experience, and had good hearts. They knew what was best and guided the young couple with a gentle hand, generously sharing all their valuable experience.
I feel the greatest gratitude towards Your Majesties, the King and the Queen, for your support and for the way you have received me into your family. I think, of course, also of my own family; my mother and father and my sister and her daughters. Mum and Dad, while growing up, you have always given me your unconditional love. You have helped me through wisdom and you’ve helped me gain a strong self-esteem and security with your good values that have guided me during my life.
Today, when we were driven through the streets of Stockholm, we received unbelievable joy and warmth. It is a memory that we will forever keep deep in our hearts. During the years Victoria and I spent together, I have felt a great support from the people I’ve met. It has been very important to me. Thank you.
I have the deepest respect towards my upcoming tasks. Without a doubt it will be a great challenge. I will do my utmost to live up to the expectations that will be placed upon me. I will do my utmost to support my wife, Crown Princess of Sweden, in her important work.
My darling Victoria. I’m so proud of what we have together. I’m so happy to now be your husband. I will do all that I can to keep you as happy as you are today. Victoria, the greatest thing is love. I love you so much.
I would like you all to join me in a toast to my wonderful wife.
BLESS THE SWEDES
