An investigation by Channel 4 and The Sunday Times, has shown a light on the opaque finances of the King and prince William. The Duchy of Lancaster is part of the property and land portfolio of King Charles, the Duchy of Cornwall is the same for prince William. These together rake in a fortune for the crown. They already receive money from the state in terms of the Privy Purse - for their royal duties. They own vast tracks of the - shore line - which brings in extra cash. These entitlements go back into medieval history and don’t have a place in a - democracy. Politicians have for too long been - mealy mouthed - when it comes to the monarch. Given the current state of the national financial problems and so many of their citizens fitting a cost of living crisis - time to give up these ancient rights - other wise they will lose public confidence.
