While the rest of the country feels the pinch of austerity the Royal family live a life of luxury subsidised by us, their subjects. In this eye-opening hour we reveal what the Royals spend their money on and what the taxpayer is funding. We hear stories of the outrageous expenditure of the Queen Mother and her love of champagne that resulted in her smuggling a case of bubbly into hospital during a hip operation. We throw light on some of their most controversial spending from Prince Andrew's (aka Airmiles Andy) penchant for luxury travel, plus the gigantic bill for the Buckingham Place restoration. Pro and anti-monarchists put forward their arguments for whether the Royals are a financial burden we should no longer bear or a unique asset we should cherish. And we reveal just how many extra police, firemen and ambulance crews the country could afford if the Royals were ditched!
