Comment on King Charles to receive huge pay rise from UK taxpayers
G4Z@feddit.uk 1 year agoThe Crown owns the Crown estates. It was never tax payer funded
The state (aka us) owns the crown, the crown is not owned by the monarch.
As for tax free. Since the US revolution. The Crown has given the income to the government.
You mean our assets have paid money to the monarchy as part of a centuries old deal to pay for the last Charlie boys debts. Fuck that, I don’t see we have to keep one family in a state of perpetual luxury because of that.
Simple research into the history of the Crown estates makes it clear it dosenot in any way shape or form belong to the tax payer.
No, simple research shows that it does in fact belong to us. I’d love to see your source mate.
Can Charlie sell any of it? Can he put it in his will? Can he even make renovations? No, well he doesn’t own it does he.
