He was only the spare, but he was mummy’s favourite so she paid him an allowance of £250k, which he heavily overspent which led to all these dirty deals with the likes of Epstein.
While the Royal family are billionaires, that is mostly the assets of the Crown Estate which are controlled for the public good. What they keep is centred around the King and the Prince of Wales.
what might help is if you shifted away from an amount like a billion to a mechanism and class - they are of the capitalist owning classes who exploit because that is how capitalism works. billionaires to millionaires to thousandaires. own and exploit? boom: roasted.
