Queen Elizabeth of England is known as the "Lady of Thrift", how frugal is she?
As we all know, Queen Elizabeth II is one of the richest people in the world, the Queen has a huge wealth of 13 billion US dollars, not including her private name of 8,000 hectares of Sandringham Manor, 2,000 hectares of the resort of Bamlal, 1,000 hectares of royal fields near London, many private castles and special planes, yachts, countless rare diamonds, jewelry.
It is estimated that the interest on the Queen's deposits is millions of dollars a day. In other words, 24 hours a day, whether she sleeps or wakes up, she earns $700 in interest every minute, not including her top-secret deposits in banks in Switzerland and other countries.
Although this queen is rich, she is rich and enemy. But to the surprise of many people, the queen was very frugal. In winter, anyone who visits the Queen's private residence knows that they must wear extra clothes, because the heating is usually turned on very little by the host. The Queen believes that excessive heat is not good for health and wastes energy.
When the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, went to the restaurant, she tried to reduce the number of people in her entourage, and she also took care of the Prince to take some wine from the cellar of Buckingham Palace to bring with her, because she complained that the price of alcohol in the restaurant was staggeringly high.
In order to reduce the expenses of the palace, the queen specially installed a public telephone in the palace, clearly stipulating that subordinates should make private calls and pay for them all out of their own pockets.
The Queen did not feel anything wrong with this, and one of the favorite compliments of the Queen of Pingyin was: "Lady Thrifty".
Haha, the queen is really frugal enough, but her miserly pettiness is still quite cute. Frugality is a virtue that should not go out of fashion in any era.
