So, Prince Khalid Abdullah al Saud gets 400k a year from the CAP.

Other beneficiaries include estates owned partly or wholly by the Queen (£557,706.52); Lord Iveagh (£915,709.97); the Duke of Westminster (£427,433.96), the Duke of Northumberland (£475,030.70 ) the Mormons (£785,058.94).

Should 'the sytem' be paying multi-millionaires a few hundred k out of the public purse in order to maintain their own land? Or should they be doing it themselves...?
