Doubt they’ll arrest themselvesAnd hopefully the first thing that they’ll do is go round arresting the parents of every paedophile/suspected paedophile in the country! Then we’ll finally have justice
Last from me on this as it's not really appropriate for this thread but I'm interested in all the income they get as a result of being who they and therefore what they own.e.g. Charles's income from the Duchy of Cornwall.
I think that's a bit apples and pears - the Monarchy actually have no political power - just look at the example of when the Government lied to the Queen about the legality of proroguing Parliament, whilst they had to 'ask' (mislead) her, she had no real power to stop it.
Obviously nothing on Twitter
I didn't put this post up (below) so I shouldn't be being asked to back it up, I am correctly the one asking the questions.
Independent reports suggest the Monarchy contributes £1.75 billion to the U.K. economy and costs £292 million.
Not audited the figures myself though
Not questioning the contribution of those your mention, but my response was aimed directly at the comment about state handouts referred to be DannyC
It was that exciting!wrong thread
Crown estate is not privately owned and all revenues go to the treasury. The crown is not allowed to sell these assets.
Why would it be? It’s not a state funeral. Bigger things to worry about; like making the play offs..

The Duchies are part of the privy purse but pay taxes in the normal way.
As I understand it the grant of £292 million goes to maintaining Crown assets and fulfilling state duties.
I am no expert but I have no issue with the benefit of the Crown to U.K. Plc at a cost to me of £5 a year. That’s 25 minutes of one Oxford game per season
