William to sell off parts of Duchy of Cornwall "for positive impact"

[BasiliskStare]

On the face of it (& I have read the article once so reserve the right to change my mind , be persuaded by those more knowledgeable than me or by other arguments ) this looks like a good thing - or maybe a good start. I'm sure W can manage nicely with the income from 80% of. £1bn Duchy 😊

I don't think this excuses him from not being transparent about finances , but am I being naive to think this is edging towards a good thing? I know there is an argument the Duchy is ill-gotten gains he shouldn't have in the first place. I'm quite pleased to see affordable housing in London referred to , which having a DS who lives in London , I'm very aware of. That's obviously personal to me though.

Anyway - for what it's worth - here's the article

3 days ago about protests ! The thread has moved on ! , it’s not even a thread about Andrew .

Oh and by the way, he was stripped of his hrh and prince title, the only thing Charles could do without parliament, his York title was put in abeyance and can’t be used it was also removed from the roll , for all intensive purposes, yes he’s been stripped!

@MarmaladeorJam Andrew is no longer Royal Highness or Prince, from the date of Charles' Letters Patent.

He retains his Dukedom, as it must be removed by act of parliament, but can no longer be addressed by the title since removal from the Roll of the Peerage. He is therefore Mr Mountbatten-Windsor.
