The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have provoked 'outrage' after it was revealed they made £130,000 per year sub-letting stables on their £30million estate. Prince Edward and Sophie had advertised the East Wing stables at Bagshot Park, in Surrey, as an office space for £10,834 per month, pocketing £130,008 per year. However Crown Estate revenues are supposed to be paid to the Treasury, with taxpayers ultimately benefitting from the Royal Family's profits. The stables are located on the pair's 51-acre estate, around 400 metres from the main house which has 120 rooms. He said: 'It's an outrage they pay a peppercorn rent as it is and now Edward and Sophie are free to rake in £130,000 for a stable block as part of the deal.
