The Queen has given her staff a five percent pay rise today in preparation for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The Royal staff who have had a two-year pay freeze are seeing the increase to help them cover rising costs during the cost-of-living crisis, the Telegraph reports.
A Royal source said: 'Staff will get a minimum of 2.5 percent pay rise, rising up to 5 percent depending on their personal performance .
'But it's fair to say the majority will get 5 percent.
'It is not being billed as a Jubilee bonus, it's in recognition of everyones hard work over the past two years.
A palace insider said on the impact on the pay rise: 'Everyone is really delighted with the pay rise which was announced in an internal memo. With the cost of living crisis we are struggling like everyone else and it helps to pay the bills. Here's to the Queen.'
ONS data shows the pay rise is higher than the rate of annual pay
