Strictly speaking the Palace belongs to the Crown estates on behalf of the nation, and not the Queen herself. It's an unhappy coincidence to put it mildly, that the repair estimate (some of the electrical wiring is over 60 years old) is similar to the lying brexiteer promises regarding properly funding the NHS. Ten years of imposed austerity have done little to deny the conclusion by many that it's being done at the expense of the poorest in society.
It's being done, because it 'needs to be done'. To not do it now, would put at risk a national asset.
