Despite supposedly being "private estates", the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall don't pay corporation tax. If they did, taxpayers would be £12.8m better off every year.

King Charles is reportedly giving Andrew Windsor a six-figure sum and an annual allowance.

It's said to be out of his "private income" - but in reality, it comes from his Duchy's rent on public land.

So, Andrew's punishment is costing the taxpayer, not him. Really? Is this justice?

You know what's really scary this Halloween? Just how much we spend on the monarchy, that's what. 👻

So Andrew's no longer a prince.
He's had to leave his mansion (in exchange for another).
But when will we see him behind bars?

Despite what the royal family would like you to think, royal patronages have been proven not to have any effect on charities' income. Another reason to replace them.

Disgraced royal Prince Andrew won't be evicted from his Royal Lodge despite not paying rent for 22 years. We asked a lawyer to explain.
If Prince Andrew didn't pay rent for 20 years, why wasn't he evicted?

The Times found that Prince Andrew pays a "peppercorn" rent for his Royal Lodge mansion - during a cost of living crisis, and despite everything he's done. He has to go.

The funds for Andrew's £12 million payout came from the Queen's Duchy of Lancaster - using public land and the public's rent. Our money, paying for royal scandals.

Our king is exploiting the Crown Estate - property of the public - for profit, not green energy or lower energy bills for us.

It's time we took back the Estate for good.

William is charging the taxpayer £1.5m a year for HMP Dartmoor - which is currently closed indefinitely over dangerously high radon levels. Is this the head of state we want?

William says he wants to change the monarchy when he's king. Why not start with the spiralling costs? We've taken the liberty of selecting a few he could start with... 🧐

£52,800 of taxpayer money to change some flags. The beauty of our head of state being used purely as a soft power prop, and nothing more, ladies and gentlemen.

Pretty sure this is William's idea of modernising the monarchy. And here we were thinking cutting down on costs was the solution!

Despite the Duchy of Cornwall being owned by the nation, it gives William almost £24m in profits every year. This isn't right.

On the Queen's passing, Charles should have paid over £260m in inheritance tax. But he didn't - the monarch is exempt. It's one rule for them, another for the public.

Charles made more than £1m selling land for HS2 from his duchy, at the cost of the taxpayer.

Do you still think he has our best interests at heart?

It costs a family almost 3× more to visit Buckingham Palace than the Palace of Versailles in France - even though very little is actually open to the public at the former.

Our taxes aren't enough for them.

Let's hear it from someone else now - the monarchy costs an estimated half a billion pounds each year.

This can't go on.
