King Charles receives heartbreaking update from Scotland after US bombshell

The British monarch, King Charles, has been warned of a serious campaign in Scotland soon after his announcement of the US trip.

The King, 77, who's heading to America for a state visit in late April, will face a motion by the Scottish Greens party, pledging to strip of the monarchy of  its alleged tax perks.

The party's co-leader Ross Greer, a devout anti-monarchist, has pledged to scrap tax exemptions enjoyed by the Firm in Scotland as part of their campaign to ensure wealthy individuals pay their fair share.

Ross Greer described the monarch's legal immunity from various taxes as "ridiculous," particularly given the financial pressures facing ordinary households.

To convince people for his move, Greer said: "With costs soaring and people being priced out of everyday essentials, it is ridiculous that so much public money is given to one super-rich and scandal-ridden family based on who their ancestors were.

"The King is one of the richest men in the world and one of the biggest landowners in Scotland."

"He doesn’t need even more perks, and he shouldn’t be given a free pass from paying taxes simply because of the wealthy family he was born into."

As per reports, the policy specifically targets Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), Scotland's equivalent of stamp duty, which is fully devolved to Holyrood. While most homebuyers must pay this levy when purchasing property.

However, Crown transactions reportedly remain exempt from LBTT, a privilege the Greens have vowed to abolish.

Greer added: “No family should be allowed to exempt itself from following the law, but in so many ways that’s exactly what the Windsors do. It is long past time for the King to start paying his taxes.”

On the other hand, Murdo Fraser, the Tory candidate standing in Perthshire North, mocked the announcement, branding it "student politics stunt."

"Ross Greer and his Republican pals should grow up instead of chucking out unserious policies just to play to the gallery," Fraser said.

The royal communications office responded by outlining the King's existing tax contributions. All income the monarch receives from the Duchy of Lancaster is declared in his annual tax return.
