Royal staff | COVID-19 sparks fears of mass redundancies

Throughout the current crisis, employers have made the hard decision to cull the number of staff they have due to falling profits and a lack of consumer activity.

Now it seems that hundreds of royal staff are set to face the chop this month as the Queen’s finances continue to feel the damaging impact of the coronavirus pandemic, reports the Daily Mail.

Due to the increasing lack of money the Royal Family is bringing in for tourism this year, up to 250 employees could lose their jobs.

While some royal sites are due to open during the summer months following the easing of lockdown in the UK, the number of 2020 visitors is set to be lower this year compared to previous ones as a result of concerns over safety.
