The King and Prince William are earning millions from charging councils and government departments, with some of these charges being “really petty”, says @JCalvertST.

Since 1760 the Royals have given the Government all income from the Crown Estates. In return, a small % of this money is returned for expenses and running costs. This is called the Sovereign Grant. Taxpayers do not fund the Monarchy. The Duchies are businesses NOT charities. Whoever owned the services rendered would be paid likewise.

There are no public funds going to the monarchy. The crown estate was conquered by William I in 1066. It was never public property.

If they cared about the country. They would offer to pay taxes.
They voluntarily do pay the taxes on personal income and Charles gave up his income from wind farms to compensate for the inheritance tax and this was more than he would have paid.
The Duchys pay income tax, millions.
Knowing the truth of how much the royal family make a year, has rocked me too the core. Now get rid of them. It’s like rubbing our faces in it. How absolutely disgraceful.

How many veterans and homeless British families/individuals could be housed just from one year's "wages" paid to either Charles or William/
How many hungry people around the world could be fed from one year's wage to these two men?
How many pensioners/disabled/low income households fuel bills could be paid from just one year's income for these two incomes?
Have a think about it, and then see just how little these "Royals" everyone venerates actually do care about the people they rule over or the people around the world they do "charity" fund raising for.
Charging a hospital £millions for just renting a warehouse?
Charles paid ZERO Inheritance Tax after his mother died, by claiming he inherited less than he actually did, and still pays ZERO tax on any of his income (By the way, Charles was paid £39,000 per hour until recently, but he demanded, and got, a pay rise, because he said his 'pittance' of a working wage wasn't enough for his lifestyle).
Tax the rich and the Royals, put the money to doing what the people need, and see how life would be so much better for all.
I've always supported the Monarchy BUT I can easily see why people don't. I cannot disagree with many comments here. For the luck of the draw re birth generations of these "royals" have behaved not dis-similar to parasites. On the other hand what have Starmer and Reeves done to the same UK people? How have THEY behaved? Everything has its good and bad points.
The irony is the Royal Family are patrons of hundreds of charities. If they were charitable with their own wealth, none of these charities would be needed

Well apparently William was going to cure homelessness, now we know how he can and when he should ! RF are not an ethical institution at all.
Help for Heroes makes sick because the British government which sends troops to war zones should pay for any disabled veteran's life and pay for appropriate training to reintegrate retired service personnel in civvy street.

Time the monarchy was abolished
What gets me is that there is NO INHERITANCE TAX PAID.
@eifionsanders3254 the reason is so that the assets don't have to be sold off. He gave up the wind farm money in lieu of the Inheritance tax. For example queens jewels could leave.the country and never seen again. Balmoral sold to Russians or built all over. These are inalienable assets they can not be sold or inherited. They only have value if they are sold and they can not be sold so technically they have no actual value. So you can say he has properties worth 20 million for example but as they can not be sold they are not actually worth anything. He just has the benefit of being able to use them.
Unlike normal people.who can sell their assets or borrow against them. That is not the case with an inalienable asset which is why no IHT.
So public money is funding them.
Who do you think funded the Queen? 😂
that's not the issue, they are not supposed to be making profits, its ironic because they all turned on Harry for trading with the Royal Brand.
It was ever thus.
Seems strange to me that the story about Andrew being asked (told) to vacate Royal Lodge and his yearly allowance stopped and this investigation by the Times dropped. Personally I hope he and his ex- wife do get moved out they are parasites. Just my opinion
many have said they get multi millions each year from t.payer . theysay from the rental incomes they pay their expenses if so then why the need fron t.payers yearly . when people say ch inherieted 500 / 600 m from his mum but what about the several billions from her as well and no tax payments required . and they agreed to pay tax and how much they will pay . strange we dont get a choice to pay or not to pay let alone how much . fancy taking all that money from all these important places like the c etc what he supposedly has with best foods medics home etc but taking vital monies from the ill people that need it badly . they are so wealthy without these extra multi millions and assets they would need several life times to even spend a fraction of it . a vid on yt showes 10 most valuble things the queen has and no 1 showes land globally worth $33 trillion . true or not but it sounds believable .

Lad they are the Royals they get a veto in parliament over any legislation that would effect them. it’s his majesty’s government and his majesty’s armed forces so long as you’re all subjects and not citizens the royal family will continue to abuse their power. That’s why a republic is so appealing under a written constitution where rights are guaranteed and nobody has veto power over your rights.
That sovereign grant is for the official duties, the crown grant if for the up keep of palaces and public building plus security. The crown grant brings in 1.1 billion a year which goes to the treasury. The RF cost the taxpayers £1 person. They maintain their own properties it is part of their lease, and that's why Andrew is being turf out.
They receive the Sovereign Grant for expenses and upkeep. But did you know it is a small % of the money returned to them from the income given to the Government from the Crown Estates? It's an agreement that has been in place since 1706. The Royals also bring in over £1.7 billion per year to the UK economy.

To me the crux of the matter is transparency.
Greed
I’m amazed that proper investigative journalism is being done on the King and his heir. The vast majority of the media protect them and present the most positive view of some of the most vacuous people around.
Maybe their profiteering should be slimmed down.
👌
Greedy people that contribute nothing
Only over £1.7 billion per year to the UK economy. Source: TIMES of India.
@@John-f3d if thats tourists generating that income, then the royals arent contributing that money, the tourists are :p

This WEF POS needs to be dethroned
My boat club pays the Duchy of Cornwall £££ each year because our slipway into the river sticks out 1.5m over the river bed, which is owned by .... the Duchy. So we pay rent. Seems iniquitous to me, and I often wonder what would happen if we refused to pay. Is there actually any legal basis for charging the rent, or indeed "owning" the river bed (it's tidal, btw).
How we haven't moved past this archaic and frankly embarrassing institution, never fails to disappoint me. God save the king (from paying his own way)
in comments sometimes people say the r and other wealthy live in bubbles and have no idea how normal people live . i disagree bc things are shown on tv net papers hence no way none of them know the many suffering hat goes on .
William leave the Homeless people alone your horrible 😡😭🤣😭
some one said the coincidence is too much that w started about homeless people knowing all this will be shown .
Members of the Royal family have been visiting & donating to Homeless Charities & others for decades.
This is what you get with a monarchy.
Serfs and subjects in a fiefdom.
They didn't get either one of those dutchies legally they were just seized, they change absolutely ridiculous rents
You think is the sell them they wint charge rent either.
What about wind turbines on ' Crown Estate land' up to 12 nautical miles from the coast. No one seems to be concerned about levies earned on this.
It was mentioned in the video.
@@Markiboy3 Thanks. Must have missed it.
Levies thst go to the treasury and Charles forfeited his portion of billions to be ring fenced for good causes.
The king gave up all of the income from windfalls th8s year.
@@jenniferholmes2732 He's so brave. What would we do without him? Pretty much the same as we do now. He adds zero value.
Thank you for this reporting, slowly but surely we need journalists to keep chipping away at this ludicrous enterprise to make the general public aware of this racket we call the monarchy!!
if you ask me this is why we are poor
