Royal exposé shouldn’t be any surprise from these grubby inbreds

Many think of the modern Royal Family as powerless figureheads who exist solely to attract tourist money. A new Royal exposé, however, has laid bare the “grubby & secretive earnings of the Royal Family” – secretive earnings which see them bleeding public services across the country:

Royal exposé: grubby inbreds bleeding the country dry

This latest exposé comes courtesy of the Times and Channel 4 News. As the Times reported:

Two sentences stand out in this: “land largely seized by medieval monarchs” and “even parliament has been denied access”. This shatters the notion that Royal privilege is a thing of the past. In very real ways, the Royal Family is still living in the Medieval Ages, and we’re all paying the price.

BBC News notes:

In the investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and the Sunday Times, external, it is reported that the private estates of King Charles and Prince William have received millions of pounds of income from contracts with public bodies and charities.

Over the past year these deals with the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall have been worth almost £50 million, it has been claimed.

It adds:

The Duchy of Lancaster, established in 1399, and Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall, established in 1337, both hold large amounts of land and commercial property in England and Wales.

And also:

The two private estates are separate to the Crown Estate.

Profits of the Crown Estate – a property business owned by the monarch but run independently – go to the Treasury. The level of profit made by the Crown Estate is used as a benchmark to calculate the funding given by the government to the Royal Family in the form of the Sovereign Grant.

The taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant will rise to £132m next year, after profits from the Crown Estate increased to £1.1 billion.

That’s right, we’re paying these vultures three times through a series of on-the-record and off-the-record estates. This means we’re going to pay them billions over the next few decades on top of the billions they seem set to earn themselves (‘earn’ in the figurative sense; it’s clear they aren’t doing anything to literally deserve it):

Turn the heating on? King Charles takes a cut.

Pay the rent? King Charles takes a cut.

Bury a loved one? King Charles takes a cut.

This is not the Britain most people think they live in, and it’s no wonder they had to keep this secret:

Even children aren’t spared.

As reported by pbctoday, the National Audit Office reported in 2021 that “around 700,000 pupils are in danger due to poor school conditions in England“. How many of these pupils attend schools which are being bled dry by the Royals?

Charles and the family don’t want us to know, but the information is out there now, and over the coming weeks we’re going to develop a very precise idea of where battered services are being set up to fail by our greedy, unchecked monarch:

As the BBC reported, a spokesperson for the Duchy of Lancaster has responded to the exposé, noting that king Charles’s private estate:

complies with all relevant UK legislation and regulatory standards applicable to its range of business activities

Yes, clearly this is all very above board, which is why they had to hide it from the public – had to hide it from the government.

“The very charities they represent”

Perhaps the biggest slap in the face is that the Royals are DRAINING MONEY FROM CHARITIES.

Now, we don’t know about you, but whenever we donate to a charity we don’t do so thinking ‘hopefully this money makes its way to those who need it the least‘.

As you might expect, this is the element of the sordid affair which is drawing the harshest criticism:

There was also plenty more criticism to go around:

 

In response to all this, many are remembering the immortal words of Tony Benn:

21st century Britain

Even the most devout monarchist surely agrees that we shouldn’t be paying these people three times over.

This latest Royal exposé shows that everything the Royals do seems to ultimately lead to them enriching themselves. Are we going to carry on living in the Medieval Ages? Or are we going to turn into a normal country and take back the public good from this very private malignancy?
