Republic have released new research revealing the royals cost the country more than £500m a year.
As Keir Starmer tells the country tough decisions are needed and that more cuts are on the way, the annual cost of the monarchy has hit more than half a billion pounds.
If Rachel Reeves thinks tough decisions are needed in these difficult times, she needs to start with the royals. We're being told the budget will be painful. Well if that's true, the cuts must start at the top.
On October 30th, Republic undertook a Day of Action in Westminster on Budget Day - calling on Rachel Reeves to cut the half billion royal budget, not our public services.
Our campaign doesn't stop there. We'll be continuing to oppose the half billion royal budget, with further in-person and digital actions to come!
Republic is launching an ambitious new appeal, so we can ramp up the campaign and expose royal spending and corruption. If you can, please donate to our Crowdfunder. We need extra funding to push this campaign, lobby politicians and perform stunts and protests across the country.
Become part of a growing movement. Support for the monarchy has fallen sharply, thousands of people have been joining Republic and the campaign continues to get stronger.
It’s time to abolish the monarchy, and together we will.

It's wrong in principle and it doesn't work in practice. (And no, it's not good for tourism.) But it doesn't have to be this way.
They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there's an elephant in the room.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly recommended
"I read this book with an open mind and the author’s argument to do as the title suggests is very strong. I’d like to see if someone could write an equally comprehensive case for keeping the monarchy, I doubt it’s possible." (Amazon review).
