WORKING as a cleaner for the Queen seems to be about prestige rather than pay, with the monarch forced to review salary levels after a backlash over a recent job ad.
The official British Monarchy website called for applications for a part-time cleaner at Windsor Castle, offering the successful maid STG6.67 ($A10.27) per hour, British tabloid the Daily Mirror reported on Monday.
The hourly rate is STG0.47 above Britain's minimum wage but STG0.78 below the government's recommended "living wage".
It means the cleaner - who would perform tasks including vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and changing bed linen - working from 8am to 1pm Monday to Saturday, would earn a full-time equivalent salary of STG13,000 ($A20,000) a year.
"This looks really bad. Since the Queen receives considerable support from the public purse she should pay a living wage, not just barely a minimum wage," Labour MP Grahame Morris told the newspaper.
"She's setting a bad example to other employers."
In June Windsor Castle advertised for a servant to work 40 hours a week for STG14,000 a year.
A royal spokesman told the Daily Mirror: "We are reviewing our policies regarding the living wage".
