QuoteThe Queen is looking for staff to work at Windsor Castle for £1 below the living wage.  Two permanent jobs advertised on the official British Monarchy website pay a salary of £6,916 for 20 hours work per week – just £6.65 per hour.

This is £1 below the recommended living wage of £7.65 an hour outside London and only 15p above the national minimum wage of £6.50 for people of 21 and over.

The jobs, a sales assistant and coffee shop assistant in the Windsor Farm Shop, require previous experience and involve some weekend work.

Nothing new with this. The royals have always expected something for nothing and the younger generation seems to be really bad about fulfilling the responsibilities of their positions.
