Royal Family urged to stop ‘lecturing' on environment

Royal Family is destroying the state money with their lavish shenanigans, claims an expert.

Writing for Mirrror, Norman Baker has accused King Charles and his clan of abusing public money and splurging taxpayer funds.

He writes: “Buckingham Palace pretends the royalsare being prudent with public money. What utter hogwash. They even have the cheek to suggest that Charles is being generous because he only takes 12% of the income of the Crown Estate.”

The expert adds: “Reality check: the Crown Estate has in effect been a public body since 1760, and until 2011, 100% of its profits went to the Treasury to pay for schools, hospitals, defence and, yes, disability benefits. This 12% is a new royal tax on the public purse.”

“The shocking truth is that the royals really don’t care how much public money they spend. Last year they incredibly ran up a bill for the taxpayer of almost £1.2m on charter flights just within Great Britain to places as difficult to reach as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle,” he continued.

The expert noted: “And don’t keep lecturing us about climate change, please, when you are in the top 1% of the world’s emitters.”
