Reports place their losses at about £18m while their expenses totaled more than £102.5m partially due to renovations that were taking place at the same time.
£9.9million was successfully raised by the palace through visitor program mes and other schemes that are popular with tourists and the public. But overall the palace has lost much more than it gained. There was a 41 per cent increase in spending to £54.6 million on the renovations alone.
