Nope no symbol on my computer for UK pounds.
According to wikipedia the Queen pays back the money from her Duchy funds.
Oh, there was another programme on TV which was to do with her incomes generated from the Duchy of Lancaster (I understand that Her Majesty's Chapel of Savoy belongs to her via this duchy - they have such a lovely choral traditions - Golly, they sing the National Anthem before the Eucharistic Service every Sunday) which is not the property of the Crown but the monarch's private possession. I think this generates some £300m or something but it's a tax free account or whatever.
