Comment on Andrew will be banished from royal premises to King Charles' private and remote Sandringham estate

How about we ban all the “royalty” from all these estates (and confiscate their wealth while we’re on it) and use them for housing poor and homeless (and their wealth to finance this)? That seems less prone to scandals.

  Theft is what rich people have done to others for millennia.

So you want to steal their private property? Then bankrupt a lot of homeless charities by making them use very expensive buildings, then have a lot of bored people with nothing to do because they’re stuck in a country estate?

  How do you think the royals and nobility got their estates?

    By purchase, in the case of Sandringham.

    As I thought… “the land was awarded to a Norman knight, Robert Fitz-Corbun after the Norman Conquest.” So the government can “steal” it and sell it to a non profit, this way people like you should be ok with it.
