Help us challenge government spending of half a billion pounds on the royals.

by Republic in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

We spend half a billion pounds on the royals every year. That has to stop. 

You can help Republic slash the royal budget, scrap the monarchy.

A new report shows the cost of the monarchy has risen to more than £510m. Meanwhile, the Labour government is promising more cuts to public services. If Rachel Reeves wants to make ‘tough decisions’, the monarchy should face the biggest cuts.

Let's take the message to the government, slash the half billion royal budget.

The launch of Republic's report received widespread media attention. Now it's your turn to ensure this campaign can keep the story in the news and put pressure on politicians.

More lobbying of MPs, more protests and stunts, more work with the media. With your help.

At Republic, we’re launching an ambitious new campaign, calling out royal corruption and demanding the government scrap the half billion royal budget.

Please donate £30, or whatever you can afford, so Republic can keep the country talking about why the monarchy is bad for Britain.

Will you donate so Republic can challenge the monarchy's corruption?

For the cost of the monarchy, we could pay for 18,000 new nurses, or give the Winter Fuel Payment to 1.6 million pensioners. Instead, we hand it over to the royals for their palatial homes and helicopter lifestyles.

The cost of the monarchy is a symptom of a corrupt and dishonest royal household. 

We're calling time on royal abuse of public money.

Republic will be lobbying MPs, talking to the media, staging protests and stunts and much more. Lots of ways you can get involved - and by hitting our £30,000 target we can keep doing more now and into 2025.

How can the Chancellor defend this when making 'painful' decisions?

No more £510 million handouts. We’re demanding the Chancellor cuts the royal budget, for good. By highlighting this institutionalised corruption we'll also lead the debate on abolishing the monarchy.

With the Labour government talking about 'painful' decisions and cuts to welfare, how can anyone justify throwing half a billion pounds at the royals?

Now is the time to act.

Over the last decade support for the monarchy has fallen from 75% to to below 50% in some polls. A third of the country want the monarchy abolished. And now the government are planning budget cuts while the cost of the monarchy keeps climbing. 

DONATE TODAY!

The movement is growing rapidly, protests at big royal events are now the norm. Republic will keep going until the job is done and the monarchy is gone.

The Queen was the monarchy. The monarchy was the Queen. With Charles on the throne all bets are off when it comes to the future of the royals.

Republic has never been in a stronger position. But we need to do so much more. Now is the time to turbo-charge the campaign - but we can't do that without your help.

Too many people believe the monarchy is harmless and cost-effective. Because that's the message their supporters in parliament and the media want them to hear. Raising awareness of the half billion royal budget will only increase support for an elected head of state.

Together we will abolish the monarchy.

We're ready to throw everything at this. Are you?

Our campaign will include:

  • Mobilising our activists up and down the country.
  • More protests and events to increase awareness.
  • Video and social media, reaching unprecedented new audiences.
  • More resources for staff and volunteers.
  • A bold new campaign aimed at mobilising politicians, calling on them to engage with this issue.
  • Working with other groups and individuals, building powerful alliances against the royal’s abuse of public money.
