    Better headline: “Life long benefit claimant hides off the book income”

    Typical. Lifelong sponger is found sponging.

    His bloody daughters as well. Get rid of the lot of them.

      How can anyone, even monarchists, support the idea that the entire extended family seems to get freebies at our expense

        They don’t exactly. Only the King is given the money and the property access, and he distributes that around the family as he sees fit. This money, formerly the Civil List, is 20% of the income of the Crown Estate and not from the taxpayer.

        Nuts to the lot of them, but we should at least know how the grift works.
