      It’s tax money. It could be used for better causes.

        Is it tax money, or money he was paid then he is paying out?

        I mean its a technical difference and I am not really defending anything, I just don’t know how it works really.

          The King owns land called the crown estate. He surrenders the profit to the treasury who then pays him back a small fraction of, which he also pays tax on.

          The King does not get funded by tax money, just a small portion of what his family’s land makes.

              Such a proposition is unrealistic. It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.

                It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir.

                His family has avoided inheritance tax for centuries. It’s totally realistic. Look at all the Republican countries.

                    Those heads of state don’t have Intergenerational wealth built over centuries. Monarchy is corruption on a totally different scale.

                Communist and anti-colonialist land reforms show that such a proposition is not unrealistic at all you are just a bootlicker monarchist.

      They’re literal royalty living off proceeds stolen from the citizens

        That’s true of all royals, not just daughters of pedophiles.

      You mean only entitlement can pass by bloodline and not consequences of crime? Yeah, totally makes sense.

      They didn’t do anything to earn it either…why the hell should a pedophile be allowed to steal money from everyone else to keep his family living in luxury forever?

        There is no evidence to suggest that Charles III is a paedophile. If you need to lie and slander to support your argument, you don’t have one to begin with.

          They’re Andrews daughters, no one mentioned Charles. But also fuck that whole family, they all should have been executed a long time ago.

            Bro chill the fuck out, because the King had the balls to kick him out! What USA did for it’s pedophiles? Did they kicked anyone out? Did they arrest them?
            We should have executed Trump and it’s friends long time ago then.
