Ch4 Dispatches tonight about Royals making money

Maybe I’ve not been clear Annie?

Perhaps if you watched the programme?

You believe the King knew some tenants were living in houses
not fit for purpose and made and mocked them ?

If he didn't know he's being made to look a fool by those he employs who haven't informed him. If he did know he's made himself look a fool. Either way he's a fool, a very rich fool.

Absolutely! Spot on!

It was an unfortunate moment, in a documentary made a few years ago, that the then Prince Charles chuckled as he joked, ‘Keep paying your rent.’

I bet he now wishes he hadn’t said that.

Or he could as a landlord invest in his properties and provide decent housing.

It’s down to Prince William now.

Yes it’s now up to the son to rectify the neglect of years by the previous landlord and lots more beside.

It’s shameful.

The RF seem to prefer charity than paying full taxes and making a fair contribution to society like the little people have to.

Little people could make huge donations to charity and offset that against income tax. I used to collect for a charity and at least one person used to make a large donation, using a special charity cheque book.

Also, anything left to charity in a will is exempt from IHT.

I haven’t watched it and I won’t.
I find it totally abhorrent that the royal family exist.
They only exist because of what their ancestors did.,
conceived on the wrong side of the blanket as it was called and heinous acts against others.
I’m a total moderate for most things but not against
Inequality.
I could never curtsy to another human being and owho was begat as all others and will die in the same way.

Agree with you. All this started with self declared royals, the bullies of the time. Then we were invaded in 1066 and the land grabbing began and it hasn't stopped. Why do Charlie and Wills need SO much money? Sheer greed.

The point here is that the RF are taking from some charities and redistributing however much they choose to other charities. Hardly altruistic, fair or decent.

We will never know what the late Queen Elizabeth left in her will as senior Royals wills are secret and never disclosed. King Charles would not have to pay inheritance on any private wealth left to him by the Queen, which must have been considerable.

Would have given a financial boost to the NHS for starters.

I do try to see things from Israeli press and reports, and not just Palestinian sympathetic feeds and I aim to see as much as possible from both sides as it were, but of course it’s unrealistic to be completely neutral.

I personally try to be aware of intrinsic bias and not to merely seek out information which confirms any preconceptions.

Sorry wrong thread. 😵‍💫

I wonder how many people realise that King Charles is nowhere near the richest person in the UK. He’s not even in the top 200, who are mostly people you’ve never heard of. Just saying……

Pretty sure I've heard of most of them, and not sure what relevance that has to this thread anyway.

Maybe someone else who runs a business …as the royals are doing…could tell me if they receive huge sums of money from the taxpayer every year ..oh and massive rises in the benefits.?
No? Not just me then ,almost 50 years in business and HRH hasn’t once handed over cash to me so why the hell are the taxpayers funding him when he,s scamming the NHS ,the fire service and several charities and much much more!!

Th RF can change rules, or use their influence to do so when advantageous seemingly. Only the ruling Royal can pass private wealth to their heir, ie Queen Elizabeth to Charles without paying inheritance tax. For some reason the late Queen Mother was able to do this when leaving her private wealth to Queen Elizabeth.

Each generation is able to increase wealth accordingly. The late Queen was keen that secrecy should be maintained which ensured the content of Royal wills should never be seen by the serfs 😮

It’s sad to see oneself as a serf

The Queen Mother’s will was made public

It all went to her daughter so nothing to be secretive about.
