How much did the queen give out on Maundy Thursday?

On Maundy Thursday, the Queen traditionally distributed Maundy money to a number of elderly recipients, which is a symbolic act of service and charity. The amount given by the Queen corresponds to her age; for example, in 2022, she distributed £5,000 in total, with each recipient receiving a coin for every year of her life. This tradition dates back hundreds of years and reflects the Christian practice of washing the feet of the poor. The specific amount and number of recipients can vary each year depending on the Queen's age.
