Pakistani’s think that European nations, their governments and kings are not like Pakistani rulers who spend millions in travel and lavish life style but the expenditure details of Queen Elizabeth will burst this myth.
Queen Elizabeth represents the monarchy of British government, once she ruled half of the world but now she is only a symbolic ruler who enjoys the title and lavish life style with personal Palaces, Helicopters and even a personal train.
The Queen’s expenditure from UK's public purse was £35.7m in 2014. Erdogan-Davutoglu spent £37.4m in two months from the discretionary fund.
