Sir: Regarding Vicky Ward's interesting article "Why Alice had to leave wonderland" (3 April), it is many years since the Gloucesters have actually been paid from the Civil List, as the Queen has been reimbursing the Government for their annuities since at least 1975, and now pays for all members of the Royal family formerly on the List, except for the Queen Mother and Prince Philip.
Yours faithfully,
