Popular Post Scott Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 King Charles has asked for a surge in profits from six new offshore wind farms on the Crown Estate, worth £1bn, to be used for the "wider public good", rather than the Royal Family. The Royal Household's public funding is based on 25% of Crown Estate profits. But King Charles wants to reduce this percentage so that more is kept by the Treasury to be used for public spending. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64319323 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new wind farm profits are nowhere near Cornwall Three of the new offshore wind farm locations are off the North Wales, Cumbria and Lancashire coast, and three are in the North Sea off the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coast.

Popular Post billd766 Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 Only posts by TBL and spidermike007 have actually commented on the content of the post. The rest are just nit picking. I think that he has done a good and right thing, no matter where the offshore windfarms are located. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the link. Google highlighted this: Here is the crucial portion without highlights: The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate established by Edward III in 1337 to provide independence to his son and heir, Prince Edward. A charter ruled that each future Duke of Cornwall would be the eldest surviving son of the Monarch and heir to the throne. The current Duke is HRH The Prince of Wales. Here is the crucial portion without highlights: "The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate..." Do you understand the distinction made between the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duke of Cornwall?

Not true. He just wants to turn the windfall profits back to the State. Not only that, but the percentage of income that he gets to keep is not for him to say. It's the Treasury that decides this. The 25% was, in fact, a temporary rise from 15% to finance work on Buckingham palace. In fact as the article further notes: "Sir Michael Stevens, the Keeper of the Privy Purse, has written to the prime minister and chancellor to propose an "appropriate reduction". But anti-monarchy campaigners, Republic, have rejected the move as "cynical PR to pre-empt a government decision to reduce the percentage". The group's chief executive Graham Smith said the King's statement "reflected an arrangement he had no power to change". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64319323 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to prove that accusation. What was he "milking it" for, exactly? He hardly lived a jet setter life. Also, do you assume he didn't discuss it with William? I reckon William would approve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
