\u00a0<\/a>reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs winter draws in and fears of a recession loom, the one-off sum is expected to go towards covering rising energy bills and mortgage payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The staff members who will be receiving the financial boost are said to include cleaners, footmen and servants.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the summer, Charles, then Prince of Wales, asked MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis, who he awarded a CBE, for a brief to try to understand how rising energy bills are affecting people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Palace’s reported scheme, staff earning less than \u00a330,0000 a year will receive \u00a3600, while those on higher wages will get one-off payments ranging from \u00a3200 to \u00a3400 depending on their income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than coming from the taxpayer, the bonuses are expected to come from the King’s private income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Single workers living in accommodation provided by the Royal Household are expected to receive \u00a3200 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, those on salaries between \u00a330,000 and \u00a340,000 will receive \u00a3400 extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figures out recently show that there are 491 full-time staff employed at the occupied royal palaces, which include Buckingham Palace, Balmoral and Windsor Castle <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comes\u00a0ahead of next weeks budget, in which Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is expected to limit public sector pay rises.\u00a0
Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
