I assume that your presenting the prison rip off being stopped as new info means you are unfamiliar with the Times / channel 4 investigation?
Teams of journalists spent months digging behind the scenes in the Duchies ( the companies aren’t exactly listed as Windsor) to identify the charges and rents the Windsors were pocketing.
The original charge was 37 MILLION to be paid by the tax payer to the Windsors over 25 years for the use of Dartmoor prison, that’s ONE charge.
There are many more - the millions charged to the ministry of defence ( the MOD refused the FOI request so we do not know the number) to use ‘duchy ‘ land. They charge schools , charities etc
This was uncovered in the last year or so though Andrew Lownie and Norman baker had been spreading awareness too.
William was charging the tax payer 1.5 million a year even after the prison was empty ! He has been rightly shamed into finally stopping that charge.
Mind you - I saw royalists upthread defending the Windsors charging charities as the claim was charities are rich so it’s quite right to charge them. Following that desperate logic why should we donate at all ?
