And the grant — effectively a wage for royal duties — acts as a restriction on their private financial opportunities. So, with a new-found independence, their financial chains are truly off.

Office buildings being converted into flats is driving the shortage of affordable homes, local government officials have warned.
Town hall leaders claim that more than 13,500 affordable homes have potentially been lost across England over the past four years due to rules allowing offices to be converted into housing without needing planning permission.
The Local Government Association (LGA) looked at the number of office conversions carried out under the permitted development right, which allows homes to be created without going through the planning system.
It found that since 2015, there were 54,162 new homes converted from offices under permitted development in England and estimates this has potentially led to the loss of 13,540 affordable homes.
The LGA argued that permitted development rules leave communities unable to ensure developers provide affordable homes as part of the development or ensure supporting infrastructure such as roads, schools and health services are in place.

Mesut Ozil has said Mikel Arteta has restored “the old Arsenal virtues” to the club as the German revealed his delight at being given the space he needs to play at his best.
Ozil has been reinvigorated by the appointment of Arteta shortly before Christmas, playing some of the best football he has produced since Arsene Wenger left the club in 2018.
Ozil admitted that he was “surprised” when Arteta, a former team-mate at the club, was handed control of the first team but he has so far been encouraged by the Spaniard’s methods.
“It is basically getting us back to the old Arsenal virtues,” said Ozil. “Having the possession, being in control of the game, having the ball all the time.
“These are the things that he is working on with us and you can see it – everyone is smiling, laughing, enjoying their time at the moment and this has made us be successful now.
“As a playmaker, I need a lot of space. His playing style allows me to get that space and it is so important to be successful.”

Jamie Vardy will celebrate his 33rd birthday on Saturday with Brendan Rodgers revealing he is unlikely to reverse his decision on playing for England again.
Vardy is the Premier League’s leading scorer and on course for his first ever Golden Boot, with Harry Kane’s injury raising the prospect of the Leicester forward being in contention for a recall to the national team.
Gareth Southgate admitted in November he will “keep monitoring” Vardy, who has 17 league goals this season, and the loss of Kane until April with a hamstring injury has shortened his attacking options ahead of Euro 2020. England play friendlies against Italy and Denmark in March.
But Vardy effectively retired from international football in August 2018 to focus on club football and Telegraph Sport understands the chances of Southgate recalling him are remote unless there is a severe injury crisis.
Rodgers believes the lack of international football could prolong Vardy’s career and insists he will not be recommending a return to the England set-up.

Since hanging up his Time Lord trenchcoat and switching off his sonic screwdriver, David Tennant has displayed his full acting range by frequently playing bad guys.
He was supervillain Kilgrave in Marvel’s Jessica Jones, a ruthless MP in The Politician’s Husband and a deeply creepy murder suspect in Netflix police procedural Criminal. He’s just played a literal demon in Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens (arriving next week on BBC Two) and has been cast as a metaphorical one in ITV’s biopic of serial killer Dennis Nilsen.
So is he more villain than hero nowadays? Tennant certainly enjoys toying with audience expectations and in psychological thriller Deadwater Fell (Channel 4), he played an ambiguous figure who could go either way.
Seen through the eyes of two central couples, this opener portrayed a terrible tragedy in the fictional Scottish village of Kirkdarroch – actually filmed in Dunlop, East Ayrshire, which looked ravishing and can now expect an influx of eager enquiries to estate agents.

A judge has expressed concern at the resurgence of racism in football after a Manchester City supporter was convicted of abusing Raheem Sterling.
Ian Baldry, 58, admitted used offensive language while celebrating after the England forward - who has repeatedly spoken out against abuse in recent seasons - scored against Bournemouth in December 2018. Sterling, 25, did not hear the comment at the time, although it was heard by a number of supporters, Manchester Magistrates' Court heard.
Judge John Temperley told Baldry, from Bradford, cited an escalation of racist attacks by supporters as told Baldry there is an increasing "prevalence of this kind of offence".
"The kind of language used by you and (your) co-accused risks wider public disorder in matches and could encourage others to behave in the same way," he said.
This season has already seen 16 matches in the English leagues affected by alleged racism on the terraces. Baldry, who has since expressed his regret at using the language, was hit with a football banning order and ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service.

Shares in the social media giant reached a height of $219.87 (£168.34) in Friday's trading, having closed at $218.30 the previous night, making the company worth around $622bn.
Facebook suffered the largest ever loss of value in one day for any company in US market history in July, when slower than expected user growth wiped more than $120bn from its stock overnight.

The secret of why hummingbirds are so brightly coloured has been discovered by scientists, in a breakthrough that could lead to more vivid materials.
Although many birds have bright plumage, virtually none are as iridescent and shimmering as hummingbirds and until now researchers did not know why.
But a new study shows that while their feathers have the same basic makeup as other birds', the special shape of their pigment-containing structures enables them to reflect a rainbow of light.
“The big question that keeps me up at night is, why are some groups of birds more colorful than others?” said Dr Chad Eliason, of the Field Museum in Chicago.
“You can look out your window and see drab brown birds, and then you have this glittering gem flutter to your hummingbird feeder.
“Why are hummingbirds so colorful? Is it the environment, is it sexual selection? Or is it something about the internal mechanisms, the physics and the way colors are produced?”

Scientists at King’s College London have become the first university in the world to formally end ‘cruel’ mouse swimming tests, following campaigns by animal rights charities.
In the widely discredited test, small animals are placed in inescapable beakers filled with water and made to swim to keep from drowning, in experiments designed to evaluate antidepressant drugs.
The more time that an animal swims - trying to survive - is thought to be an indicator that the drugs are working, as depression brings hopelessness, despair and a desire to give up.
Yet the test has been heavily criticised by academics who argue that floating is not a sign of depression but rather a positive indicator of learning because the mouse is saving energy and adapting to a new environment.
And crucially, the test has been shown to be a poor predictor of whether a drug will work to treat depression in humans.
