Hah. When I read about those privy purses I think about the startups dumping venture capital.

The GoI poured money on royals when they were entering 'the market' (governance), and when they had a strong market standing, they pulled a bait and switch, and raised prices (stopped giving out massive discounts, a.la. Uber, WeWork).

Not that I'm complaining, 9/10 royals where horrible people completely disconnected from the general population. Good riddance.
