Prince Charles getting laws changed to financially benefit him

[antelopevalley]

We knew the Royal Family got new proposed laws changed to personally benefit them. But these newly released documents provide an example where Prince Charles got laws changed so his properties were exempt from leasehold laws. It is a national disgrace.

"But the newly revealed documents, concerning a leasehold reform act that became law in 1993, provide detailed evidence of Charles applying pressure on elected ministers to ensure an exemption to prevent his own tenants from having the right to buy their own homes.
The Windsor family has used the consent procedure to vet at least four draft acts that have changed leasehold laws since the 1960s. Under such laws tenants live in properties for a specific number of years on a lease, instead of owning it outright. The changes have given tenants across the country the legal power in certain circumstances to buy their homes from their landlords.
Letters and internal memos from September and October 1992 show Charles took a “close personal interest” in Newton St Loe, a small Somerset village that is part of the £1bn Duchy of Cornwall estate, and insisted his properties there should be excluded from the proposed bill. His lobbying secured a special exemption for the village that has to this day left the tenants financially worse off."

Similar to the royalist drivel about not envying their 'hideous' life in a 'gilded cage'.

I never get an answer when I point out every last one of them is and always has been free to turn the key and walk away at any time of their choosing but it's striking how few of them do.

Look at the incident last year with William's people threatening and making up lies to try to get Krishnan Guru-Murthy and the C4 news team arrested to cover up his secret political meetings at Holyroodhouse.

I'd forgotten this.

Wills is starting to accrue form for haranguing journos/photographers who haven't set foot on royal property yet have still managed to cross some wholly invisible line.

England's war effort?????

@FayeGovan
Yes, England was at war from 1939 to 1945. It was probably covered when you were at school but you may have forgotten.

@TankFlyBossW4lk the point that @FayeGovan is likely trying to make is that you said England instead of the UK. There are three other countries, you know.
