They didn’t do anything wrong tbf. If a man wants to give accommodation to his nieces, let him.

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

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

Not really

It’s tax money. It could be used for better causes.
RamenJunkie@midwest.social 2 months ago
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.

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.

Yeah, so are most of the royal family
FishFace@piefed.social 2 months ago
Because they’re… still… royals? What am I missing
IanM42@piefed.world 2 months ago
Probably because most people thought they’d suffered the same fate as him, and were reduced to being mere mortals.
But yes they are still royals. And another reason to consign the royal family to history.

I’m with you there. Time to get rid of the largest benefit scroungers around.
FishFace@piefed.social 2 months ago
Meh. I’m fine with having a royal family - sure there’s a bunch of spongers but the fundamental principle of having a bunch of pomp and pageantry for the sake of tradition and jolly flag waving (as opposed to “get rid of the immigrants” flag waving) is fun and worth the price of entry. The price of entry pays rent for a bunch of people who did nothing to deserve it, because that’s kind of how it works.

Nothing to see here… move along, please, move along… LOOK AT THOSE WORKSHY DISABLED ON PIP BENEFITS OVER THERE!
IanM42@piefed.world 2 months ago
Make them pay their rent or get out. Besides I thought they were married?
Spongers, the lot of them.
ladel@feddit.uk 2 months ago
I think the King is paying for them with his personal money, but it is weird.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
They pull in a LOT of rent-money. I bet they don’t need to pay much rent themselves.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There is a formula to make out the level of rents staff have to pay to either the Crown Estate or the royal Household because they have to live on the estate.
It works out as equivalent to 16.7% of their gross pensionable salary.
What the fuck??? That’s for staff, not working royals, so the guy who used to iron Andrew’s shoelaces had to pay 1/6 of his pre-tax salaries in rent to live somewhere he didn’t choose.
ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 2 months ago
Tbf they did choose. They dont have to work there and are free to leave. A lot of people pay 1/3rd of their income in rent, so 1/6th is honestly a pretty good deal IMO
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, yeah, they chose the job, but I’m assuming they can be reassigned and have to move if their boss moves. I’m sure there’s a long list of applicants, but it’s still kind of fucked up, especially considering that their boss definitely has enough money to pay for each of their employees’ rent, but they don’t. I guess I expected the work conditions to be better (like, some of the best in the commonwealth), but I don’t know why.

Andrew’s wife.
She loved how Epstein would fly her around in first class.

They didn’t rape any teenagers. This is just how royalty worka, obviously their uncle the king will still look out for them.
One of you say they’re spongers because they’re married; the royal family has multiple properties and plots of land, so it’s basically like providing your nieces with one of your spare homes for when they’re visiting the country (one of them is married to an italian man i think?). Logical.

the entire royal family is spongers
