Funding for the renovation of Buckingham Palace has been approved by MPs, and it will cost the taxpayer at least £369 million.
Parliament backed changes to the Sovereign Grant, which funds the monarchy's official duties, by 464 votes to 56, the BBC reports.
The grant will be increased by 66 percent to pay for the £369 million ($452 million) refurbishment.
The essential work, set to take 10 years, is needed to avoid the risk of what officials call "catastrophic building failure."
Ageing cables, lead pipes, wiring and boilers will be replaced, many for the first time in 60 years, because of fears about fire and water damage.
