MAJESTIC MISER!
Billionaire queen uses same purse for 50 YEARS!
TIGHTWAD Queen Elizabeth sits atop a monarchy worth a jawdropping $88 billion — but the 92-year-old cheapskate is still using the same patent leather purse from 1968!
Though the miserly monarch, whose personal fortune is estimated at $520 million, is attached to the designer handbag, notoriously stingy Elizabeth rarely carries cash — aside from a five-pound note on Sundays for the church collection plate!
And Her Majesty’s pennypinching ways are notorious in Buckingham Palace, her 775room London residence.
There, she’s known for cutting corners in the kitchen,
where staffers use Queen Victoria’s crusty pots and pans from the 1800s and craft meals for the monarch using leftovers, claim courtiers.
Elizabeth is also rumored to keep a close eye on the electric bill and is known for turning out the lights before she retires for the evening.
“Often the huge palace will only have one light on,” whispers one palace aide.
While the queen rakes in a salary of more than $12 million a year from the British government, her staffers aren’t so lucky.
A recent job posting for a housekeeper at her regal residence offered a royally insulting rate of less than $22,000 a year!
