      I will never understand why Brits still tolerate the Crown.

      – £16B in Crown’s assets, tax free.

      – £100M taxpayer money a year to maintain the Crown, Buckingham Palace and stuff.

      You have to chuckle at the Guardians ability to have their cake and eat it:
      Todays Headline 1: King’s property portfolio (Crown estate) pays chief £1.9m
      Todays Headline 2: King to receive £45M increase in Public funding (from same crown estate)

      (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/24/king-to-receive-extra-45m-of-public-money-as-crown-estate-income-soars)

      I do appreciate due to the unusual nature of the crown estate both positions are arguable but I find the Guardian’s preferred inference amusing.

      That really doesn’t seem that crazy, most investment funds aren’t a fraction of that size and are far more liquid, but pay their head fund manger a lot more.
