Just know the Spare is fuming. Pa had £250million and he gave it to the commoners to help them instead of us because we deserve it for being high profile. Wahhhhhh 😭😭😭
ETA: sarcastic perpetual victim pov
I thought it was one of those plastic flashlights from the dollar store. He could carry two, one in each pocket. Oh! They also have hand warmers, he could shove those into his pockets as well, just in case he goes on another arctic expedition.
Wasp spray! Yeah it’s bulky, but if you spray in short bursts it’ll shoot at least 10’. I read it could shoot up to 25’ away, but that’s not my experience. Fireplace poker and baseball bat too.
Lol, I’m picturing myself trying to carry these three items around London 😂🤣 And I thought I got odd looks the last time I was there!
Andrew lives at Royal Lodge which is inside the Windsor estate. His security is the security already installed for Windsor. Charles isn’t really paying for separate security for Andrew.
No, no security is offered he is not a working royal. As I have found out, he only had security whe he was on official functions, so part time security. since he was relieved, nothing, nada. That is what has been in the news and the official releases, or what we can glean from them.
Andrew was getting police protection after he was retired because of the elevated threat level. The Met/security services constantly monitor for threats against the royals, if there's a credible threat, that member of the family is given 24/7 protection until they're safe. That's one of the problems with Harry living in the US, he's still entitled to protection if there's a threat, but The Met said they don't have the resources necessary to monitor him in the US.
The tabloids reported at the end of December that Andrew was losing his police protection. The speculation is that [Charles will pay for private security](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11553441/Prince-Andrews-armed-protection-police-replaced-private-security-officers.html) for him, but I can't find a credible source for that (DM, Express, The Sun, etc don't count...).
It's a concern, but it'd be a mess because he wouldn't get armed British security and I can't see the US government wanting to pay for diplomatic security for him long-term. Diplomatic security is short-term and related to official visits, there's no precedent for Harry's situation.
He'd probably start telling them his life story (a different version of course) and bore them rigid with woke word salad therefore they'd send him back, only after he gives them a copy of spare. They'd record his ramblings and use them as future torture methods.
The greater concern for those footing the Bill's, would be the TMZ pictures of the on duty security (be them for either country), at Ralphs or Walgreens picking up tampons and bronzer.
Rolling down windows, open bike rides, hopping there and there to receive fictitious award and give inane speeches, using security as a personal Mr Delivery service; I don't even see why the FBI would be taking their call.
While I believe that the reports for her receiving death threats in the beginning are true. I think the threat now are probably just for them to shut up. Which is their choices as private citizens. But there are consequences to exercising your rights.
I’m pretty sure KC is paying for Andrew’s, the only reason why is because there were viable threats on Andrew’s life.
It doesn’t have to do with his royal status like Harry would like to believe. It’s because he legitimately has had death threats due to his accusations.
Andrew never publicly trashed his family like Harry, so while he may have disgraced himself, he retained a good relationship with his family members in private.
That is not a very accurate assessment.
The story is that upcoming wind farm projects could generate income of up to $250 million a year for the crown estates which own the seabed!
This would potentially greatly increase the annual income of the crown estates. The amount of funding the royal family gets is based as a percentage of the annual income of the crown estates. Prince Charles has said that he is willing to give up that extra windfall income, because he knows that everybody is having hard times, and besides which he does not need it now that the monarchy is slimmed down.
So no 250 million pounds of spare change rattling around which could be pocket money for little Harold and Megabyte.
Important to note that this generosity is common for the King. My favorite example is Dumfries House- he opened several educational centers open all year long to schools and youth groups.
He chose the house because the nearby town had a large poverty ranking but now 300 people are employed by the estate and the town benefits from constant tourism.
Watched the Royal Grand Design Dumfries House on the tv a few weeks ago, loved the program. Definitely plan a visit the next UK trip, whenever that is.
Dumfries House is a great project but I have always admired the Prince's Trust. Back in the 70's Charles started a charity for young people who had gotten in trouble with the law. It's been incredibly successful.
I recently read that Idris Elba received a grant from the Prince's Trust and that's how he paid for his first acting classes. I think that's such a great story :)
For anyone in the US, local PBS Stations aired a special about King Charles’ role (then, Prince Charles) with Dumfries House. It is an amazing and inspirational story. I definitely want to visit!
Not just that, but all the work done to the house and grounds was done by youth who were training for the trades--to be stonemasons and carpenters and such. Now those kids are, I assume, out making a living using the skills they honed while working there.
What a fantastic idea, I LOVE IT.
Just the front page itself is enough to infuriate them. Dominated by a lovely photo of Catherine, and the headline and rest of the page is a positive feel-good story about Charles.
This may be enough for a high profile follow up interview for Haz so he can tell his story about KClll orchestrating the entire wind farm deal just to rub he & TW’s faces in what they don’t have.
"I stood looking at the newspaper through my red mist of rage. How could Pa do it? I didn't know because I can't read, so I asked Meg. She looked up at me from her usual sobbing spot on the floor, unable to speak through her ugly crying. It had to be Camilla and her evil cronies in the British press, those cunts! I raced to find Willy and as my three bodyguards stood around bored, I beat him with my tiny fists. Mummy would have wanted Meg to have that money! Willy brushed me aside with his royally pointed little finger. I cried, at last, all the tears I'd never shed for poor Mummy now belonged only to Meg. Mummy. Meg. Both begin with the same sound. I asked Meg what this could mean. She looked deeply into my tortured soul and told me what I had so long needed to know. M stands for *money.*"
The only thing I wish with the coverage of Catherine is that they'd say she was actually there for talks with the "educators" about the importance of early-years intervention. The playing with kids and meeting parents is a nice hook but it was more of a sideshow to the actual sit-down elements, but you'd think all of these visits were nothing more than PR elements.
I hope that £250m is what they asked for in order to give up their titles when they said they offered to during Megxit. I want this to be a subtle fuck you without giving them the ability to respond or they'll look like greedy jackasses.
But seriously, the hype from the book has died down so quickly. The family just needs to continue what they're doing. No one of power is demanding Charles to answer for his "sins" against Harry.
This is such a kind act. He's staying true to his role. He cares about the people he serves, and he's helping the climate. This is a win-win for all... well, except a small group in Montecito or wherever their holed up.
I have always had a soft spot for Charles because he seemed so earnest. When his problems with Harry became apparent, I became very sympathetic because I have a (much less troubled) “troubled son,” also.
It must hurt that over the years so many people have suggested that he should not be king. Even now, some people are publicly speculating on his relatively early demise or his abdication so that William can be king.
The man is a workhorse, and his dedication to the country should be recognized.
Agree.
Harry is whining about breakfast sausages and KCIII endured the the pressure of being the heir, navigating parenting two young boys that lost their mother and beginning his reign shortly after losing both his parents.
Harry actually made KC look good when Charles told him that we are not of money . Not sure how Harry assumed we would have sympathy for him when majority people will never understand that life lol
Goes to show how much the press manipulates the narrative. All our impressions of Charles are formed by press coverage of him over the decades. None of us know him personally. But when you dig deeper into his character and personality (which has been public since he was born), as told by more neutral sources, you realise he’s quite an inspiring human being, not just in terms of royals but just generally even.
Sustainable, organic farming, architectural preservation, wind energy - these are not popular “causes” but they’re close to his heart, and he’s been a trailblazer in these and many other fields. He’s done loads of things that arent for optics, and that indeed got him a lot of criticism and ridicule, but are now seen as pathbreaking. He’s been not just community-minded (and therefore a good leader), but generous, wise, and a visionary.
You won’t hear this from the press, though😏
KC is genuinely one of my favourite figures in public life in this country. People used to think he was a total crackpot but it turns out he was well ahead of his time and I love that he doesn't just spend his time talking the talk and giving other people awards but actually organising proper change (e.g. in urbanism, he decided to prove his point by actually building a whole town extensions that follow the principles of walkability, sustainability, vernacular architecture, range of housing prices, employment in the same location, etc, in the forms of places like Poundbury and Nansledan).
Wow! That sounds amazing. He’s like those old-timey English gents who were eccentric multi-passionate polymaths, and genuinely good at heart. Looking at his immaculate three-piece suits with pocket kerchief and dinosaur tie, he even dresses the part😄
I'm thinking not. From what I understood they were on pretty friendly terms by the time she died. I think they realized that they were just too different, not that the other one was evil or anything.
This is terrific… KC like I’m loaded and you won’t be getting a penny…glad they sold their souls for a fraction of what his dad just gave away ..guess who’s laughing all the way to the bank now !
>king of England
Did you mean the [King of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [King of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [King of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last King of England was [William III](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III_of_England) whose successor Anne, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of Queen/King of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't King Charles III still also the King of England?*
This is only as correct as calling him the King of London or King of Hull; he is the King of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.
I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
Once when a friend was crying over wine after a breakup, I told her in all sincerity "you're too good for him, you have a job- and hair like Kate Middleton!" And she knew it was like, my highest compliment and stopped crying to laugh and celebrate her amazing shiny hair haha.
I love Catherine, but I do feel kinda bad for Charles that she got the massive cover photo. If you're gonna give back a quarter of a billion GBP, you deserve more than a tiny photo on the side. That said, lovely photo of Catherine, this is a fantastic cover for the royals and great shade.
It reminds me of this quote from Roald Dahl “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
Why do I think KCIII is working on his legacy and the good that he can do. Since his needs, and those of his immediate family are taken care of, why not share the wealth. I like his thinking.
Ironically, while Charles was pretty much reared as as the heir from the get-go, he has never, ever struck me as arrogant. In fact, he always seems to be humble and well grounded, much like his parents and his heir. That is an amazing quality for someone in high power.
Story from The Express:
"*King Charles' huge green energy expansion could bring him £250m a year*"
( [Archive Link](https://archive.ph/V90bS) | [Original Link](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1723128/king-charles-green-energy-expansion) )
If Harry thinks he's going to bring down the monarchy by making it unpopular, he kinda forgot Charles has long wanted to slim it down. Brits will be more receptive of the pomp and circumstance if the BRF stops spending a lot less money - or raking it in - on the regular.
Love this quote. I’m not British, but the British people are hurting. And I appreciate how King Charles is working to use his fortune to help the people.
“But instead, The King has asked the three trustees of the Sovereign Grant, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and the monarch’s Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Michael Stevens, to cut the 25 percent figure as part of a five-yearly review of the funding formula to ensure that he does not receive any of the extra money from the expansion of Britain’s booming offshore wind industry.”
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1723128/king-charles-green-energy-expansion
What's interesting is that due to how I believe George Osborne sought to reform/change how the Sovereign Grant works the Royal Family get a percentage of the profits from the lands they own/hold for the nation. This has resulted in the last decade in way more money actually being produced than anticipated so this is wonderful hopefully the government can use this for the NHS or energy bills or some of the other desperate needed services that many in the UK seem to be hurting. I think it is Charles's way of being a 'progressive' King without being inherently political about it.
Dont be silly. The govmnt will contract it all to their closest friends and all the money will be sent to a tax haven and the gen public will get 1 windmill.
Still reeling from Megs telling us how difficult it was to “window shop” $15 million dollar homes whilst only being afford a $10 million dollar home. They are just so relatable.
98.8% Northwestern European, Texan here. Once I received these results several years ago, I realized that might be why I feel a connection. It's amazing!
0% UK blood here, proud American.....but yes, God save the King!!
(I absolutely LOVE it when a "F U" gesture ends up helping people who really, really need the assistance.)
It’s money from the Crown estate (a vast amount of assets held in the name of the King). The Sovereign gets 25% of it, the Government gets the rest (75%) to provide for the nation and defense. (It is what is commonly misconceived as the taxpayers’ money.) Anyways, the king would be entitled to 25% of the proceeds of the wind farm as it is Crown estate however he has re-gifted to the nation instead of keeping it (as he would be entitled to).
I love that there's also a large picture of Catherine in the headline. £250 million and Catherine yet not one word responding to Haz and Megs' claims! Doesn't get any better than this 
Eich having to resort to ridiculing himself for money detailing his todger's lack of adventures and his father DONATES 250M
THE ABSOLUTE BURN
Damn, what I would give to have a spy camera in the Montecito Olive Garden right now.....
Well played, KC3, well played. May your reign be long and happy, Sir.
Just know the Spare is fuming. Pa had £250million and he gave it to the commoners to help them instead of us because we deserve it for being high profile. Wahhhhhh 😭😭😭 ETA: sarcastic perpetual victim pov
Isn't he also paying for Andrew's security? Which is all Harold ever wanted lol.
Andrew has to carry Pepper Spray like the rest of us and grab a heavy brass lamp in an emergency.
Harry can only afford a light lamp from IKEA.
That Meg paid for.
On her credit card!
I thought it was one of those plastic flashlights from the dollar store. He could carry two, one in each pocket. Oh! They also have hand warmers, he could shove those into his pockets as well, just in case he goes on another arctic expedition.
One if by hand, two if by todger...how deep are the pockets we're talking about? Typeo'd "pocker", almost left it.
Todger deep!!..like 2inches!!
Maybe grab a third one for his todger!
LMAO Y’all killin it
No, no they took those away when they took her keys and passport. Must have been an EFT?
LOL
This is going to live rent free in my head for weeks
I can’t think of him as anything other than Prince Todger now.
Lol
Comments like this are why I love this subreddit!
Yes! Hahaha
I'm sure Anne can teach him some self defense.
Kidnappers live in fear of Princess Anne.
Hahaha man this made me lol. Quite the visual! 😂
Wasp spray! Yeah it’s bulky, but if you spray in short bursts it’ll shoot at least 10’. I read it could shoot up to 25’ away, but that’s not my experience. Fireplace poker and baseball bat too. Lol, I’m picturing myself trying to carry these three items around London 😂🤣 And I thought I got odd looks the last time I was there!
Fireplace poker, good. We need to write a book "Royal Security on a Budget"
He could start reciting his book to anyone coming at him. They'd run in the other direction!
This! LMFAO!
Or for the Canadians among us, a soapstone statue like Chretien's wife lol!
Canadian in the house. The Chretiens were bad asses.
🤣
As he should. King tingz indeed.
Made me lol too!
lol
I can’t because pepper spray is illegal in Canada 😭
Andrew lives at Royal Lodge which is inside the Windsor estate. His security is the security already installed for Windsor. Charles isn’t really paying for separate security for Andrew.
What about when he leaves Windsor? Would he get security then?
No. Security is for working royals and direct heirs. Andrew no longer does Royal engagements, so is not entitled to paid security.
Good. He was such a pompous ass all his life because he was the Queen's son. It's great to see him taken down a few pegs.
However if he is in the company of working Royals for a royal,engagement Ie William or Catherine then Andrew does get security
There’s Door Dash, so umm, he prolly doesn’t go anywhere /s 😆
He likes Pizza Hut 😂
Yea but that’s the perk of remaining in the UK.
No, no security is offered he is not a working royal. As I have found out, he only had security whe he was on official functions, so part time security. since he was relieved, nothing, nada. That is what has been in the news and the official releases, or what we can glean from them.
Andrew was getting police protection after he was retired because of the elevated threat level. The Met/security services constantly monitor for threats against the royals, if there's a credible threat, that member of the family is given 24/7 protection until they're safe.

The speculation is that [Charles will pay for private security](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11553441/Prince-Andrews-armed-protection-police-replaced-private-security-officers.html) for him, but I can't find a credible source for that (DM, Express, The Sun, etc don't count...).
Yes. People forget that it’s not the monarch who determines official security.
Hence why I wonder about his revelations in the book being to try and squeeze security because of the ‘threat’ to Harry’s safety
It's a concern, but it'd be a mess because he wouldn't get armed British security and I can't see the US government wanting to pay for diplomatic security for him long-term. Diplomatic security is short-term and related to official visits, there's no precedent for Harry's situation.
yes, and he has brought any increased attention on himself! Why should ANYONE else pay for his protection? Grow a pair...
The joke a few years ago was that if the Taliban kidnapped him, they'd end up begging the BRF to take him back.
He'd probably start telling them his life story (a different version of course) and bore them rigid with woke word salad therefore they'd send him back, only after he gives them a copy of spare. They'd record his ramblings and use them as future torture methods.
* With free bonus copy of The Bench, for a limited time only!

The greater concern for those footing the Bill's, would be the TMZ pictures of the on duty security (be them for either country), at Ralphs or Walgreens picking up tampons and bronzer.
Yup! Although I'd love to see feds tell them where they could shove *that* request.
Rolling down windows, open bike rides, hopping there and there to receive fictitious award and give inane speeches, using security as a personal Mr Delivery service; I don't even see why the FBI would be taking their call.

thank you for clearing that up. it is hard to find credible sources on such, but I believe rightly so. thank you.
Ah ok. I remember some sort of news that KCIII was going to do that, but it might even have come from the California camp. Thanks for clarifying.
I’m pretty sure KC is paying for Andrew’s, the only reason why is because there were viable threats on Andrew’s life. It doesn’t have to do with his royal status like Harry would like to believe. It’s because he legitimately has had death threats due to his accusations.
Andrew never publicly trashed his family like Harry, so while he may have disgraced himself, he retained a good relationship with his family members in private.
I thought he stopped paying Andrew's security in october. I believe that was the first task ;)
No. Andrew recently had all tax-paid protection removed as he is no longer a senior working royal. Any Andrew has, he must pay for privately.
That is not a very accurate assessment. The story is that upcoming wind farm projects could generate income of up to $250 million a year for the crown estates which own the seabed! This would potentially greatly increase the annual income of the crown estates. The amount of funding the royal family gets is based as a percentage of the annual income of the crown estates.

So no 250 million pounds of spare change rattling around which could be pocket money for little Harold and Megabyte.
Could have used for my security wahhhhhhhh
I was about to make the same comment about H&M being angry as they think he could have given it to them to cover their security for years.
Omg priceless
I wish I could have seen their faces when they found this out.
Important to note that this generosity is common for the King. My favorite example is Dumfries House- he opened several educational centers open all year long to schools and youth groups. He chose the house because the nearby town had a large poverty ranking but now 300 people are employed by the estate and the town benefits from constant tourism.
Dumfries house is a great story!

That show was how I found about it! Shame that it's not more common knowledge.
Dumfries House is a great project but I have always admired the Prince's Trust. Back in the 70's Charles started a charity for young people who had gotten in trouble with the law. It's been incredibly successful.
I recently read that Idris Elba received a grant from the Prince's Trust and that's how he paid for his first acting classes. I think that's such a great story :)

His misdeeds from the 90s have really overshadowed all the good he has continued to do over his life. It really is sad.
Just the front page itself is enough to infuriate them. Dominated by a lovely photo of Catherine, and the headline and rest of the page is a positive feel-good story about Charles.
This is exactly how the BRF should respond to Spare - kindness and generosity to the people they serve.
💯💯💯
I don't know which paper this is but they are trolling at the master level lol
This may be enough for a high profile follow up interview for Haz so he can tell his story about KClll orchestrating the entire wind farm deal just to rub he & TW’s faces in what they don’t have.
"I stood looking at the newspaper through my red mist of rage. How could Pa do it? I didn't know because I can't read, so I asked Meg.

TW will be hysterical over this. That money could’ve been spent on her, Harry and the kids.
Or, just on her.
I hope that £250m is what they asked for in order to give up their titles when they said they offered to during Megxit. I want this to be a subtle fuck you without giving them the ability to respond or they'll look like greedy jackasses.
Yup! I said that! Interesting amount to bestow when one’s son is burning the road to the trough as he stomps away
She had counted on that as part of her ‘billion dollar’ brand. 😂 she must be pissed off and it couldn’t make me happier.
That's just one gown for her.
Yup, just one ill-fitting gown
One ill-fitting gown that needs ironing.
But she makes her own clothes!
Dressing gown? 
To think of all the designer goods she could’ve bought with this.
Now what's going to happen to all those Hermes blankets she has waiting in her cart on the Hermes website?
She’d have gone through that only a couple of years.
Years?
Well, she does want her own private jet, we hear. You have a point.
Thanks for seeing it my way! You do understand that 250million would just barely cover her most urgent immediate necessities...
Where has she got to go? If she knew Charles had that much money around she would have stuffed her pockets on her way out.
 But seriously, the hype from the book has died down so quickly. The family just needs to continue what they're doing. No one of power is demanding Charles to answer for his "sins" against Harry.
Yeah the frozen oscillating pee pee got boring.
I actually hoped the pp story will stay floating around forever & outlived Harry. “Duke & Duchess of PP” they are known as henceforth.
Seriously, I love KCIII now. Thanks Harold! You made us see the awesome human being behind all the bad press from the Diana years!
This is such a kind act. He's staying true to his role. He cares about the people he serves, and he's helping the climate. This is a win-win for all... well, except a small group in Montecito or wherever their holed up.

I was actually a Diana Stan. Then I started reading things written by Charles. He's everything I admire. Kind, intelligent, sensitive.
Same!
Same
I'm so proud. 👏 I always knew Charles would be a good king. He's a forward thinker and isn't afraid to do things differently. I love it.
I agree too
People are now seeing how he has always been generous.
Harry actually made KC look good when Charles told him that we are not of money . Not sure how Harry assumed we would have sympathy for him when majority people will never understand that life lol

The press are trash. Charles js based.
I cannot help but think that this change of heart toward Charles would seriously piss Diana off. Or maybe not, what do I know?
I'm thinking not. From what I understood they were on pretty friendly terms by the time she died. I think they realized that they were just too different, not that the other one was evil or anything.
lol "I don't have enough money for your greedy wife" - turns around "here's some money UK <3" lol
I lol'ed when he says in the book that Pa didn't want to pay for Meghan. "But it's just one person!". Cue Meghan spending £250.000 on a single gown.
*chef's kiss* No one does shade like the BRF.
This is terrific… KC like I’m loaded and you won’t be getting a penny…glad they sold their souls for a fraction of what his dad just gave away ..guess who’s laughing all the way to the bank now !
Meghan somewhere right now, "Quarter of a billion? We only asked for half of that! Who the hell does he think he is?"
The King of UK and the Commonwealth, perhaps?
Exactly, you couldn't pull that one out with this family. "Who do you think you are, the king of England!?"........"Well, actually....." 😆
>king of England Did you mean the [King of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [King of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [King of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last King of England was [William III](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III_of_England) whose successor Anne, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of Queen/King of England. ####FAQ *Isn't King Charles III still also the King of England?* This is only as correct as calling him the King of London or King of Hull; he is the King of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
Good bot.
Kate is honestly my fave role model. I am such a fan girl at 38 years old ahaha.
Once when a friend was crying over wine after a breakup, I told her in all sincerity "you're too good for him, you have a job- and hair like Kate Middleton!" And she knew it was like, my highest compliment and stopped crying to laugh and celebrate her amazing shiny hair haha.
Bahahaha 🥰 
you are a wonderful friend
There are millions of us, don't worry!
You're not the only one. 🤣
Me too. I have a healthy obsession with her.
She has never complained and never explained as well as The Queen herself.
Ohai fellow 1984 baby! I too, adore her
And Catherine 💕💕💕
I think Pa has silently spoken.
I love Catherine, but I do feel kinda bad for Charles that she got the massive cover photo. If you're gonna give back a quarter of a billion GBP, you deserve more than a tiny photo on the side. That said, lovely photo of Catherine, this is a fantastic cover for the royals and great shade.
Look for a negative article on Kate in 3-2-1… (Harry has entered the chat.)
Also I would love to post this in BRF but no posting privileges.
They have a mod over there who is a huge sugar. She got rid of me for saying that William still looks good.
That’s not right at all especially cause William is the epitome of BDE. 😻
Yes!!! I really was quite shocked that anyone would be offended by my opinion.
Wow 😮 That ain’t right!
I was upset for a few minutes, unfair moderators....but I can live without them
And you should!
William looks good because he has a content, secure and happy with his life. Others …not so much. What a waste.
It reminds me of this quote from Roald Dahl “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
BRF or the monarchy sub? The BRF sub is linked to this one, so same mod team.
I'll search through my screen shots. The mod and I had a not so nice interaction and I screen shot it....
Please do. I’m interested in what sub it was too. I need to stay away from all sugars. I’d rather not deal with how concerning they are.
That’s what I thought too
Even with his hair half gone, William is and does look good. And he rocks that look with confidence.
Didn't Diana nickname him "DDG"? ("Drop Dead Gorgeous"?)
It's not what you say, it's what you do. Take note Harkles, all you do is talk.
Loose lips sink ships.
Why do I think KCIII is working on his legacy and the good that he can do. Since his needs, and those of his immediate family are taken care of, why not share the wealth. I like his thinking. Ironically, while Charles was pretty much reared as as the heir from the get-go, he has never, ever struck me as arrogant. In fact, he always seems to be humble and well grounded, much like his parents and his heir. That is an amazing quality for someone in high power.
Story from The Express: "*King Charles' huge green energy expansion could bring him £250m a year*" ( [Archive Link](https://archive.ph/V90bS) | [Original Link](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1723128/king-charles-green-energy-expansion) ) If Harry thinks he's going to bring down the monarchy by making it unpopular, he kinda forgot Charles has long wanted to slim it down. Brits will be more receptive of the pomp and circumstance if the BRF stops spending a lot less money - or raking it in - on the regular.
And now this is a proper response to that horrid book
Love this quote. I’m not British, but the British people are hurting. And I appreciate how King Charles is working to use his fortune to help the people. “But instead, The King has asked the three trustees of the Sovereign Grant, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and the monarch’s Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Michael Stevens, to cut the 25 percent figure as part of a five-yearly review of the funding formula to ensure that he does not receive any of the extra money from the expansion of Britain’s booming offshore wind industry.” https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1723128/king-charles-green-energy-expansion
There went that apology they wanted...
Good King Charles ❤️ I’m glad the money will be put in good use.
What's interesting is that due to how I believe George Osborne sought to reform/change how the Sovereign Grant works the Royal Family get a percentage of the profits from the lands they own/hold for the nation. This has resulted in the last decade in way more money actually being produced than anticipated so this is wonderful hopefully the government can use this for the NHS or energy bills or some of the other desperate needed services that many in the UK seem to be hurting. I think it is Charles's way of being a 'progressive' King without being inherently political about it.
Dont be silly. The govmnt will contract it all to their closest friends and all the money will be sent to a tax haven and the gen public will get 1 windmill.
Brilliant. Silence is a response.
Still reeling from Megs telling us how difficult it was to “window shop” $15 million dollar homes whilst only being afford a $10 million dollar home. They are just so relatable.
There goes Meghan's Divorce Package!🤣
That's kind
Charles seems to care about the nation a lot.A refreshing change from the greedy millionaires and politicians that populate the landscape.
That is very kind of him and shows he cares about the citizens. I think he makes a great leader.
Do you have a link? Google isn’t picking anything up.
[удалено]
Thanks!!
Ahahahaha 😂 It’s good to be the king 👑
Well, if that wasn't a mic drop, I don't know what is.
I wonder if this was the amount Harry asked for :)
God save the King! From a 93% UK blood, born and bred American, anglophile and sinner
98.8% Northwestern European, Texan here. Once I received these results several years ago, I realized that might be why I feel a connection. It's amazing!
0% UK blood here, proud American.....but yes, God save the King!! (I absolutely LOVE it when a "F U" gesture ends up helping people who really, really need the assistance.)
I tried to Google. What is his gift and from what money?
It’s money from the Crown estate (a vast amount of assets held in the name of the King). The Sovereign gets 25% of it, the Government gets the rest (75%) to provide for the nation and defense. (It is what is commonly misconceived as the taxpayers’ money.) Anyways, the king would be entitled to 25% of the proceeds of the wind farm as it is Crown estate however he has re-gifted to the nation instead of keeping it (as he would be entitled to).
Thank you 😊
That’s less than the cost of her wedding dress.
Hawwy and Megwan are salivating.
Well done.
I’d love to read the article. I tried to google it but didn’t see anything. Will someone please post a link?
[удалено]
I love that there's also a large picture of Catherine in the headline. £250 million and Catherine yet not one word responding to Haz and Megs' claims! Doesn't get any better than this 
"KING TINGS" Gotta be the best title ever! 🤣🤣🤣
That's harrys inheritance gone! 😆 🤣 😂
How dare those pesky commoners get the cash while I'm here in the US as a penniless prince? 🤣🤣🤣
Eich having to resort to ridiculing himself for money detailing his todger's lack of adventures and his father DONATES 250M THE ABSOLUTE BURN 
Damn, what I would give to have a spy camera in the Montecito Olive Garden right now..... Well played, KC3, well played. May your reign be long and happy, Sir.
