Jan. 21, 1936, London - The Royal Family which receives approximately $2.7 mn a year from Parliament is hard-pressed, reports The United Press. The amount is not enough to cover the cost of the Court and has to be subsidized by the Prince of Wales' Duchy of Cornwall and the King's own Duchy of Lancaster, which yields $285,000 a year.
