Even the Queen won’t escape the energy price hike as gas and electric bills at the royal buildings are expected to surge to more than £4 million.
Experts predict the 54 per cent rise announced by Ofgem last week could add more than £2million to the cost of heating and lighting the royal estate.
Buckingham Palace alone, which has 775 rooms covering 828,000 sq ft, could cost an estimated £2,039,985 per year after April 1.
