Comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Daughters Are Still Receiving Rent-Free Royal Accommodation
RamenJunkie@midwest.social 1 week agoIs 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.

Well he shouldn’t.

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.

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

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