An investigation claimed that King Charles and Prince William’s private estates make a hefty income from public and charitable funds
Investigators are claiming that King Charles and Prince William’s estates are bringing in a hefty income for the royals.
The Duchy of Lancaster is the estate of the British sovereign and currently held by Charles. It spans across England and Wales and includes urban developments, historic buildings, farmland and nature. The Duchy of Cornwall is the other estate meant for the eldest son of the reigning British monarch, which is currently the Prince of Wales.
Dispatches’ reporting alleged that St John's Ambulance — a nonprofit that Charles is a patron of — previously paid the Duchy of Cornwall almost £60,000 for use of its land. The outlet also claimed that the estate is also receiving £11.4 million to store electric ambulances through a deal with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust.
According to the investigation, 14 percent of the homes leased by the Duchy of Cornwall and 13 percent by the Duchy of Lancaster allegedly failed to meet the minimum energy efficiency requirements made by the government.
