Royal Family Faces Scrutiny Over 'Duchy Files' Financial Practices

An investigation reveals how King Charles III and Prince William profit from public funds while benefiting from tax exemptions.

The Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, owned by King Charles III and Prince William, generate millions from public sector leases.
Despite receiving substantial income, the duchies are exempt from corporation and capital gains taxes.
Critics argue that these lands, part of the Crown Estate, should contribute to public finances, not royal wealth.
The royal family maintains that duchy revenues support their public, charitable, and private activities.
The controversy highlights ongoing debates about the transparency and accountability of royal finances.
