Now that public fury has caught up with Andrew, the royal grifters are desperately trying to throw him under the bus to avoid attention falling on their own shady doings.<\/p>\n<p>It took the publication of secrets emails and the posthumous publication of <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/womens-liberation\/royals-want-to-hide-that-they-protected-paedophile-prince-andrew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virginia Giuffre\u2019s<\/a> book to shine a spotlight on Andrew\u2019s abuse of children and his tax-payer funded luxury lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew should be stripped of his title. He should be evicted from his 30-room mansion. And he should be facing jail.<\/p>\n<p>But the rest of them are also <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/sw-view\/a-family-rotten-to-its-core\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parasites<\/a> who live in luxury because of who their parents were.<\/p>\n<p>King Charles is worth an estimated \u00a3640 million\u2014with a few palaces, priceless art and one or two stud farms thrown in. Charlies is ranked as one of the thousand wealthiest people in the world according to the annual Sunday Times rich list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorkshy William\u201d likes to pretend his is a new broom, sweeping away the excesses of his debauched uncle. But William\u2019s net worth is estimated at a whopping \u00a3100 million.<\/p>\n<p>He inherited a vast fortune\u2014and the royals are exempt from all inheritance taxes.<\/p>\n<p>As the Duke of Cornwall, William grabs an annual income of \u00a324 million a year from the private Duchy of Cornwall estate.<\/p>\n<p>William loves to parade his concern for the <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/news\/deaths-of-homeless-people-are-a-political-choice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless<\/a>. But William currently has five residences. First is his the Kensington Palace, the official residence and primary \u201cworkspace\u201d for the Prince and Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n<p>Then he has his Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, the family\u2019s home after they moved from Kensington Palace in 2022. Plus the Forest Lodge, the family\u2019s new home in Windsor.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s Anmer Hall, a ten-bedroom Georgian house on the Queen\u2019s Sandringham Estate that is used as a private retreat during school holidays. And then Tam-na-ghar, a \u201cmodest\u201d cottage in Scotland gifted to Prince William by his great-grandmother, used to \u201ccreate cherished memories\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>      <a class=\"article-embed-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/comment\/the-british-establishment-enabled-billionaire-abuser-mohamed-al-fayed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#13;<br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" class=\"OF-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-Project-21.jpg\"\/>    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"article-embed-anchor-headline\" href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/comment\/the-british-establishment-enabled-billionaire-abuser-mohamed-al-fayed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The British establishment enabled billionaire abuser Mohamed Al-Fayed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>William\u2019s patronage of homelessness charities is as tone deaf as Prince Andrew\u2019s position with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the late Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s position as patron of the World Wildlife Fund.<\/p>\n<p>We are paying for all this luxury.<\/p>\n<p>The Sovereign Grant is paid by the government to the royal scroungers. It currently stands at \u00a386.3 million a year. It is supposed to cover the cost of the servants and the upkeep of the royal palaces.<\/p>\n<p>But the real costs to the public are much, much higher because the government also pays for security and ceremonial events. A report published last year showed that the royal family actually cost the public \u00a3510m a year nearly six times more than the sovereign grant.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0coronation of King Charles cost around \u00a372 million and the\u00a0funeral of Queen Elizabeth cost about \u00a3172 million. The government paid this, despite the queen\u2019s personal wealth totalling some \u00a3450 million.<\/p>\n<p>The royal family also snatches millions of pounds in rent from the NHS and schools.<\/p>\n<p>Charles and William\u2019s private estates charge public bodies and charities around \u00a350 million a year. St Thomas\u2019 Hospital in south London pay the royal scroungers \u00a311.4 million to rent a warehouse for their ambulances.<\/p>\n<p>None of these grifters and scroungers should be living in tax-free luxury at our expense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News From taking money from the NHS, huge tax exemptions to living lavishly at our expense, the royal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523749,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-523748","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-princess-of-wales","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family","18":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115426996571236845","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
