He further said, “The project is being delivered with the help of homelessness charity, St Petrocs.”
Reacting to it, Graham Smith tweeted, “The duchy isn’t his, it’s a dreadful landlord that is exempt from leasehold laws and the number of homes they’re building is a drop in the ocean of what’s needed.”
“Meanwhile we’ll continue to let him take £22m+ a year from the Duchy as private income,” the anti-monarchy chief went on to say.
