Palace pay rises | Is the King's tiny cost-of-living bonus an insult to his workers?

Employees of King Charles III are set to receive a bonus payment to help them with the cost of living crisis, but the payment is relatively small in comparison to the cash being offered at major firms...

As reported by The Sun, the head of state will provide household staff, such as cleaners, with a one-off supplement of £600, on top of their monthly wage, which he will pay from his own private income.

The exact amount it will cost the Monarch has not been disclosed, but the publication reported it to be in the tens of thousands.

Staff earning less than £30,000 will reportedly receive £600, with staff earning up to £40,000 receiving £400. Anyone earning between £40,000 and £45,000 will take home around £350, according to the Sun.
