Norman Baker - The Royal Family Costs the British Taxpayer THIS Much Annually

Subscribe to Heretics Clips now for explosive interviews that pull no punches: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos How much do the British public really pay for the Royal Family each year? In this explosive Heretics interview, former government minister, author, and royal expert Norman Baker pulls back the curtain on the monarchy’s finances, exposing the staggering sums taxpayers hand over annually — and why the system remains so controversial. Baker, who has written extensively on royal spending and accountability, lays out how the monarchy makes its money, the murky details of the Sovereign Grant, and the hidden costs that never appear in official accounts. Far from being self-sufficient, Baker argues that the Windsors rely heavily on public money, despite their vast personal wealth and sprawling estates. In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll discover: The true annual cost of the monarchy to British taxpayers. How official figures are massaged to make the royals look cheaper than they are. Why the Sovereign Grant is only part of the financial story. The hidden expenses — from security to travel — that pile up behind the scenes. Prince Andrew’s bizarre “teddy bear” lifestyle and what it says about royal privilege. The continuing cloud of controversy around Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Why Baker believes reform — or even abolition — of royal funding is urgently needed. Andrew Gold presses Baker on whether the monarchy still provides value in tourism, diplomacy, and national identity, or whether the financial burden is indefensible in a modern democracy. Together, they explore how the royals maintain their image while avoiding deeper scrutiny of their accounts. For Baker, this isn’t about attacking tradition — it’s about transparency, fairness, and accountability. He argues that at a time of rising living costs, the British public deserve to know exactly how much they are paying for the royal institution, and whether that money could be better spent elsewhere. ➡️ Watch the full interview now and join the debate in the comments: Are the royals worth the cost — or should Britain finally demand accountability? 🎥 Full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEgjkyFTazw&t=6s #NormanBaker #RoyalFamily #PrinceAndrew #Heretics #Monarchy #BritishTaxpayers #RoyalFinances #BuckinghamPalace #RoyalSpending Learn more about your ad choices.
