£250 was a substantial sum at the time, but it's still the same amount today.
I gather that some years ago the NRA asked the Palace if they might consider increasing it, and got a frosty reply to the effect that "We understood that it was the honour of Our prize that was being completed for, not the monetary value".

Sounds like that Duke of E. might have got that letter. 
His economy measures over fire-fighting at Windsor Castle didn't pay off too well it was said.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
