The UK government will bail out Queen Elizabeth's estate following a significant slip in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last week the Crown Estate announced more than a $107 million drop in the value of its rental portfolio, bringing it down to $26 billion, reports the London Economic.

The Crown Estate owns prime real estate in London and around the country, however rental income has dropped sharply since the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdowns.

A spokesperson for the Treasury told The Independent that it will give the estate extra money to meet any shortfalls in profit.

"The revenue from the Crown Estate helps pay for our vital public services," said the spokesperson.

Robert Palmer, the head of Tax Justice UK, says the bailout will be "tough to stomach" for those who love the Queen but have lost jobs and businesses to the pandemic.

When I worked for the New South Wales state government, our office building was crown land. I got a kick out of seeing “HM Queen Elizabeth II” listed as the landlord on our lease.
