The controversy involving King Charles III and Prince William over alleged illegal earnings had repercussions last week
Cabbage! A new controversy involving the royal family and ill-gotten gains has had repercussions over the past week. That’s because King Charles III and Prince William are under investigation for making millions from contracts their estates have with charities and public services.
According to the Sunday Times portal and the Dispatches programme, the monarch and his son would generate this income through the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall. The suspicion of irregular earnings, in fact, arose about five months ago
Initially, it was estimated that King Charles III would earn $35 million (about R$220 million) and William, $30 million (about R$174 million). In response, the Duchies highlighted the private character of each property.
“The Duchy of Lancaster manages a wide range of land and property assets. It is self-funding and receives no public funding for its activities,” a spokesperson clarified.
The Ducati inform that an annual report is available, in line with British legislation, which allows the verification of the sums collected. Additionally, royalties profit from various activities carried out in their territories.
According to the newspaper, the Duchy charges for the right to cross rivers, unload goods on the coast, run cables under beaches and run schools and charities. It also derives revenue from bridges, tolls, ferries, sewer systems, churches, community halls, pubs, distilleries, pipelines, boat docks, mines, car parks, rental properties and wind turbines.
