Buckingham Palace accounts show Queen Elizabeth II will receive a 5 percent income boost following record portfolio profits.
Crown Estate profits revealed Thursday that the royal portfolio, including much of London's Regent Street, made 253 million pounds in ($380 million) in the last financial year, a 5.2 percent annual increase.
The queen receives 15 percent of Crown Estate profits through a grant supplied by the British government that funds the monarch's spending as head of state.
Keeper of the Privy Purse Alan Reid wrote that a significant part of the Sovereign Grant increase will be used on maintenance at royal palaces, which has lagged in recent years.
