Royals Debt and Fashion Costs Highlight Turbulent Tradesmen
A survey of royal finances notes princes and queens rely on loans and delayed payments. The Princess of Wales spends lavishly on gowns costing up to 1500 and changes outfits daily, while the dowager queen of Portugal and other rulers dodge duns by delaying bills until funds or loans arrive. Ex kings and queens risk relentless creditors, with Milan of Servis and Isabella of Spain facing mounting liabilities. The piece contrasts royal credit with duties and expenses across European courts.
