    oh no how horrible, the pedophile is punished by living in a different luxury castle

    I hate so much about this

    the British monarch’s younger brother disgraced over his friendship with the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    Sure, it’ not like Andrew himself is a child predator… he is being punished because he was a “friend” of one

    Charles will be funding Andrew’s relocation and provide his brother an annual stipend from his own private resources — basically, the former prince will not live out his vintage years at the expense of the British taxpayer.

    Of course because Charles has money from his succesful plumbing career

    How about we ban all the “royalty” from all these estates (and confiscate their wealth while we’re on it) and use them for housing poor and homeless (and their wealth to finance this)? That seems less prone to scandals.

      So you want to steal their private property? Then bankrupt a lot of homeless charities by making them use very expensive buildings, then have a lot of bored people with nothing to do because they’re stuck in a country estate?

            As I thought… “the land was awarded to a Norman knight, Robert Fitz-Corbun after the Norman Conquest.” So the government can “steal” it and sell it to a non profit, this way people like you should be ok with it.

    Remote apart from the hourly train to King’s Cross and being a straight drive up the A10, and being ten minutes away from King’s Lynn… Siberia would have been kinder.
