Soaring Prices Push Queen Elizabeth Close to Fuel Poverty

Yes, you read the title correctly about the Queen Mother.  The Queen, herself, prowls the corridors, switching off lights, a Buckingham Palace employee reported.  The Queen Mother is coming perilously close to joining millions of her subjects in “fuel poverty” as energy bills for her four palaces and a draughty castle absorb a rising share of her income.  To make matters worse, the Queen’s government has since frozen her income, while her average energy bill has risen 20%.  No, I am not pulling your leg on this one.  I am just not that creative to make this stuff up.  See the following article entitled, "Soaring Prices."  She is not asking for donations from her subjects at this time, but donations can be sent to the "Master of the Household” at Buckingham Palace.
