King Charles gives himself a whopping pay rise from £86.3mn last year and to £124.8mn in 2025-26
The Crown Estate, which controls the monarchy’s legacy portfolio of assets, is set to earn more than £8bn up to 2031 from a boom in revenues from offshore wind projects. This is because since 1964 the estate owns the seabed up to 12 nautical miles from Britain’s coast. This is more money being stolen from the Scottish people!

Our unelected head of state, KC3, has decided he wants a different crown symbol used all over the place necessitating changes to, amongst other things, post boxes, police uniforms and official buildings. Estimated cost is up to £50m

Not at all a frivolous waste of time and money.

RabBrucesSpider1,

@alanferrier Actual cost will probably be significantly higher because we all know how accurate Government estimates are.
But if this helps put people off the monarchy, I’d say it’s money well spent.

Clapped-out carthorse more like, along with the whole corrupt, puerile institution of monarchy.

"We can only assume the reason [the king] hasn't said anything is that he hasn't seen the documents that were released by a Florida court last week.
So, we decided we'd do him a favour and deliver them directly to his front gate."

Gotta say, I don't really understand this. Either KCIII and the Princess of Wales said these things, or they didn't. But why the deference shown to them? The NZ Herald yesterday 'declined' to reveal who they were. We all suspect they say terrible things, and none of us are surprised they are racists. I mean, we all know the history of british colonisation. But why are they suing people over telling the truth? The sooner we get rid of them, the better.

Did i hear correctly that Piers Morgan had said something about the king of England and the future queen of England making potentially comments about an unborn child? Surely not.

"The civil list, which in 2011 gave the royals £7.9m a year, was replaced, after palace lobbying, with the sovereign grant, which 12 years later is up to £86m a year." 🧐😡

This is disgusting, and although the article does not specifically say so, the inference is that Queen Elizabeth followed the same practice of using dead people’s assets for her own personal gain.
When will people recognise that their beloved royal family don’t care about them at all?

The King doesn't write the King's speech, indeed. But the King, if he had any backbone, dignity or self-respect, could have refused to read it.

Were any items in this "Kings's speech" (🤮) present in the 2019 conservative manifesto, or were these commitments made by the PM elected at the last GE?

Didn't think so.
