The royals are hiring! What you can earn for making the Queen’s brekkie (hint… not as much as you think)
Work for the Queen

Work for the Queen

If you thought working for one of the most prestigious households in the world would earn you a motza – think again!

According to the Daily Mirror, a list of vocations going at the Queen’s Buckingham Palace in London show the reality of royal work, and the pay cheque isn’t quite what you’d expect!

A sous chef at Buckingham Palace will earn just $50, 000 – not such a grand fee when you consider the prospect of having to cook Her Majesty breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Meanwhile a painter/decorator will earn just $48, 211 to keep the sprawling property sparkling and stylish.

It’s even less for the poor old housekeeping assistant, who will cash in a measly $27 987. However they will be compensated for accommodation.

Over at Windsor Home Park it’s not much better for a warehouse operative, who will be looking at a $30, 843 salary.

But it’s not all doom and gloom with all staff being treated to a free meal and a 15% employer contribution retirement plan.

Considering Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms, it’s little wonder Queen Elizabeth has tried to keep her overheads down!
