Why I hate all royalty - Prince Charles vetted laws that stop his tenants buying their homes

Democracies or Monarchies - fuck this feudal bullshit

The royal family has used a secretive procedure to vet three parliamentary acts that have prevented residents on Prince Charles’ estate from buying their own homes for decades, the Guardian can reveal.

His £1bn Duchy of Cornwall estate was later given special exemptions in the acts that denied residents the legal right to buy their own homes outright.

Under the opaque procedure, the Queen and Prince of Wales were allowed to vet the contents of the bills by government ministers and approve them before they were passed by parliament.

The exemptions have left residents living in homes that have diminishing or no financial value. The residents say they cannot borrow against their homes to pay, for example, for social care fees for themselves and loved ones.

Jane Giddins, who lives in one of the prince’s houses in a Somerset village, said a “feudal and anachronistic” system had unfairly favoured Charles, to her family’s detriment. “When we die, our kids will be left with a property that is very difficult to sell,” she said.

5. You think that the Prince should have a chance to peek through the little window?

We have our own type of princes, we call them "investors." Perhaps we could use a house of many little windows.

welfare class.

[Yeehah]

7. The concept of royalty is abhorrent

A ruling class established only by virtue of birth. Sickening. Any member of a modern "royal" class with a shred of dignity would throw down and renounce the trappings and benefits.
