Her Majesty, 83, paid £44.40 (about $72) for her off-peak single ticket. For the record, she currently has an annual salary of £7.9 million (over $12 million). Read more here.

In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005.

I watched this story on the news ~ what a huge difference in price from the 1st class train to the Queen's train.
The Royal family has taken alot of heat these past years on their travel expenses.
Great post!
