He still gets a massive "perk" of being a Royal - the stipend from the Duchy of Cornwall..

Isn't that basically just money from his Dad? In which case it doesn't have anything to do with him being a Royal I would say - it's not public money.

It should be though.

It's money from the estate his dad has due to being heir to the throne ...

This. And when Charles becomes King, the Duchy will pass to William via Duke of Cornwall and the handout will cease

My understanding is that If his dad stopped being heir to the throne he would still keep the DoC - ergo it's Charles' private property, to do with as he wishes.

if it was Crown estate money I could see your argument - I don't think the DoC is Crown estate though

Not the case. The custodian is the Prince of Wales 'Duke of Coirnwall more precisely'. William, when Charles becomes King. This is why the taxation around the Duchy earnings is unique.

The little liar She had to admit the truth as would be perjury otherwise

The Duchess of Sussex has admitted passing information to the authors of Finding Freedom despite previously dismissing claims that she cooperated with them as a "conspiracy theory".

In new documents lodged with the High Court, she reveals she was concerned that "her father’s narrative” - that she had abandoned him and cut off contact - might be repeated, prompting her to intervene.

The Duchess says she gave her own version of events to someone else to pass on, so “the true position… could be communicated to the authors to prevent any further misrepresentation.”

This court case is working out brilliantly for them isnt it.

I forsee it being quietly dropped, it already has been put on hold for 9 (?) months (mmmmm 9 months wonder why!) and I believe she's lost the first round.

Quietly? The Mail will rip them to shreds if it gets dropped!

Ok, I meant them attempting to drop it quietly but yes, if they do, they will get ripped to shreds; whatever happens I don't think they/she, will come out of it very well.

As above

The Duchy of Cornwall is provided as a means of income to the Heir

If/when Charles accedes to the throne, the Duchy passes to William as does ALL its income

There is no provision for Harry and it will be upto William whether he wishes to bankroll his brother

There is nothing certain for Harry to continue receiving public money as a non working member of the Royal family ..

I’m pretty sure he’s no longer a Royal.

What he does from here on out is no one else’s business. The only people complaining are butt hurt because he stopped being a Royal which he has every right to do.

As an aside, anyone who jumps on the butt hurt bandwagon deserves a sound poking in the eye with a railway sleeper. Twice.

So the massive perk of "being a Royal" is actually a massive perk of "being the son of the PoW"? Either way it will stop when QEII pops her clogs so that should cheer up the H&M haterz.

I expect he will be entitled to an army pension.
I understand they are very good, I wonder if he made additional contributions?

[BlackLabel]

On the subject of the Duchy of Cornwall this recent piece by Vice is interesting - okay the amount of money mentioned isn’t huge but surely the law concerning this should be the same as anywhere else in the country.

Unlikely. He only did ten years which doesn’t qualify initially and when it does it won’t be much.

I agree with you, but at least he donated the proceeds to a charity for locals. In the rest of England it would just go to the Treasury.

Back in the news today courting sympathy
I must say for someone apparently seeking privacy she does seem to talk to the press about very private matters quite a lot

Agreed. I did 8 years in the RN. The pension is very small considering it will be my oldest pension. The terms also changed after I completed my service so whatever you think you are getting may not be the when you come to draw it.

All I'll say is, agreed 100%. My wife miscarried, at least 20% of pregnancies do that they know of and likely more. Deep into trimester 2 would be a whole different ball game and we know that's not the case.

Yep, doesn’t want any press coverage unless it’s on their own terms. Hypocrisy of the highest order

An incredible turn of events, I agree with two posters simultaneously!!
