How much did the Queen's funeral cost? Emergency services spent at least £75m
- last year
UK emergency services spent at least £75 million on the Queen’s funeral last year, the Home Office has revealed in response to an exclusive investigation by NationalWorld ahead of King Charles’s coronation next week.
Our investigation has prompted Labour for a Republic, an anti-monarchy campaign group made up of Labour Party members and supporters, to call on the government to “get a grip” of the royal finances. It also expressed alarm at a lack of transparency from both the Home Office and many police forces, after they refused to report their spending or said they did not know what the cost had been.
