Ever wanted to know the secrets
of the royal family’s expenditure?
Spending Secrets of the Royals is
a fascinating deep dive into the
spending habits of the royal family.
Shock claims explored in the
documentary include Prince
Andrew’s very expensive taste for
high-class travel, the eye-watering
cost of the Buckingham Palacerestoration and the Queen
Mother’s obsession with
champagne. At the age of 97, the
Queen Mum was in hospital
having an operation on her hip
and she smuggled 12 bottles of
Krug into the hospital to make her
stay a little more comfortable. And
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, isn’t
off the hook – the show alsoexplores the whopping price of her
2018 wedding to Prince Harry. In
this series, pro-royal fans and
anti-monarchists go head-to-head
to discuss if taxpayers really
should be paying for the royals
to lead such luxury lives. Is the
British royal family a financial
burden or a unique asset we
should cherish?The Champion versus
Contenders season of
Australian Survivor is back for
another action-packed workout
in 2019. Following Olympian
Shane Gould’s win last year,
the new season takes place
in the tropical paradise in
Savusavu, Fiji, and will pit
former champions against
newcomers. Fans will
recognise returning heroes Pia
Miranda, Luke Toki, Nova Peris
and Simon Black, who will
compete for the ultimate crown
against a few fresh faces
including a gold miner, a
cleaner and a school teacher.
Jonathan LaPaglia will also
return as host for the new
season of the hit show.SURVIVOR
