Good points, but could have left out Meghan Markle. Remember, she has all her benefits because of the BRF. Tenants living with black mold and the gross hypocrisy of William with the documentaries/homelessness "initiatives". www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/scandal-prince-williams-mouldy-hard-34022520EXCLUSIVE: Scandal of Prince William's mouldy, hard to heat royal rentals - that don't meet standards Our investigation with Channel 4 Dispatches has found that some of Prince William's tenants are at risk of fuel poverty and living in hard to heat homes with mould and damp issues
Dispatches documentary reveals shocking state of Duchy of Cornwall properties
ByNick SommerladInvestigations Editor 16:00, 2 Nov 2024Scores of rental properties owned by Prince William fail to meet the minimum legal energy efficiency standards for landlords, we can reveal. We found some of his tenants are at risk of fuel poverty, living in hard to heat homes that are riddled with damp and black mould. Our investigation with Channel 4 Dispatches has found that as many as one in seven of William’s inherited Duchy of Cornwall’s residential rental properties have the lowest Energy Performance Certificate ratings of F or G.

Aside: This is truly appalling. Watch the video clip with this link, too. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14033087/Channel-4-King-Charles-Prince-William-millions-taxpayer-funded-public-services-charities.html King Charles bills cash-strapped NHS hospital £11m to park ambulances on his land: Newly unearthed files reveal how royals also rake in millions from schools, prisons and Armed Forces By NATASHA LIVINGSTONE ROYAL CORRESPONDENT
PUBLISHED: 12:54 EST, 2 November 2024 | UPDATED: 08:11 EST, 3 November 2024View comments King Charles is making millions out of the cash-strapped NHS, a shocking investigation into secretive royal finances reveals. The Duchy of Lancaster, a property empire which provides a private income to the monarch, is charging one NHS trust at least £11.4 million in rent to store its ambulances over the next 15 years.Bombshell documents reveal the duchy is earning £830,000 a year from renting a two-storey warehouse to Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London.The unprecedented audit of the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, the Prince of Wales's private estate, shows taypayers are shelling out millions every year to boost the wealth of the senior royals. As well as the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, local authorities and other public bodies are swelling the coffers of the Duchies, a Channel 4 Dispatches investigation broadcast last night found.Charities – even those where the King is patron – are also stumping up millions, the five-month investigation of more than 5,000 landholdings and properties shows. The revelations come as struggling Britons were hit by Chancellor Rachel Reeves's £40 billion tax hike budget last week – and will spark renewed debate about how much tax the royals should pay, and how secretive they are about their operations.Duchy money is private income for Charles and William on top of the Sovereign Grant, which will pay the Royal Family £132 million next year, up 50 per cent on this year.

I posted this yesterday in the Chicken in Every Pot thread & am happy to see a dedicated thread so am copying it here. While I have since seen a few, I am surprised I am not seeing more comments about them using Will and Kate not speaking to, and their wedding, ABC among the over a million threats it and Amy Robach received to suppress the Epstein story three years.
Though the scale might be a surprise, I am unsure why the total surprise among some, since they clearly don't care about kids getting trafficked, abused and molested for years. Also, the deception about what Queen Victoria did to China is historically established though false info is still said about it. Everyone knows what the deceased "queen's" dad did to Gandhi and his fellow protesters. I am not sure why they don't vote to get rid of them and have the properties serve to benefit the people. Everyone knows too about Uncle Gary and the fresh young minority girls he pimped and drugs he sold, in the time frame Kate and Will stayed at Maison de Bang Bang, and Kate and Emma Sayles' Killing Kittens Club and rowing crew.
Everyone knows about Charles and Jimmy Savile, Mounbatten, Andrew, Epstein, Maxwell and Charles and Camilla's not caring to get married as the latter was single then shenanigans.
They should all be removed and their homes turned into museums that admission fees fund research, revelation and restoration about, and to all, those they have stolen from.
"Sunday Times and C4Dispatches on Will as slumlord renting moldy property and the family charging charities, schools and health department rent for public property has been causing reactions on X similar to those here for decades. Reactions also address their lack of work, especially Kate's, arrogance, snobbery, greed, corruption, entitlement and aiding Andrew in covering for Epstein, Mountbatten and Jimmy Savile.
Reactions also about Meghan showing up in attire not suitable for the Stephen Lawrence Memorial and her and Harry's move to Portugal. "

And her family's financial shenanigans too. Quite honestly, I hope American donors stop giving to royal charities. Who imagined that at long last even worse would come out? He has all this cash, and he refuses to just invest in his own nation. He is entirely his mother's son and quite frankly at least Charles founded and built the Prince's Trust. I do not think William is aware of just how bad this is for him, and he has passed the point of no return. Mark me, William will never get a decent headline ever again and he will never recover from this. I do not think he is aware of this; I do not think he is smart enough to see that he can't hire PR to realities. At 42, William is in fact a mess and he will never recover from this. He will never be able to rebuild. I'm fascinated watching something I have only read about in books. When he was born, he was in fact lauded as the savior of the monarchy and British nation and he is now dead in the water. I do not think the monarchy is anything other than on the way out. All those millions and he and his family play at being poor.

I knew the press would turn on him when he wouldn't give them anything to work with, mainly actual appearances and actual work on top of all of that, like his father. I wonder what he gets up to and I wonder if he is smart enough to see that when he is ready to settle into life, that he has made no life for himself. Like his mother, he does not learn until it is too late, and damage has been done that cannot be fixed. I find it mystifying that he has no comprehension of what he has thrown away. When his mother left her marriage, it never occurred to her that she was leaving a public role akin to that of First Lady of the United States and left a gaping hole that was filled with the worst that society had to offer. It never did occur to Diana that this was about more than her pain or her personal mess in her marriage. yet it was not until her marriage was over that she was able to comprehend this. Second, William has seemingly no clue that he has lost the first half of his life wasted on playtime and cheap groupies. So now he has no real substance behind his status and unlike his father, he does not have decades to wait and he does not have connections that will protect him in the event of the monarchy ending.
William is now being openly called a slumlord and that is the worst label to get in regard to his duty to look after his tenants. He has just lost more face and more prestige and his failures as Prince of a huge principality is now established. He can't be fixed and after his father is gone, he will have no one to have his back and his family is so used to flouting authority that he will have to contend with that as well. His father has no grip on his family and neither will William and I don't think he spends any time with his family anyway. Then there is the fact that the UK is about to literally explode and politicians could be quietly building a faction against him as we speak. I bet you anything that this has floored William and it might serve as a too late wakeup call.
I'm glad the press is no longer giving him grace.

Does anyone think that Andrew is somehow involved in exposing all of this since KC3 and The Egg have cut him off? Makes sense to me and cannot tell you how much I am loving all of it.
