KC used a lot of his income from the Duchy of Cornwall in charitable causes, such as Dumfries House which provided employment and skills. He wants to continue to support causes like this but is having his income drained by PA who wants his 30 room house and meals from Windsor Castle.This from Wikipedia
Duchy of Lancaster
The Duchy of Lancaster is the private estate of the British sovereign as Duke of Lancaster.[1][2] The principal purpose of the estate is to provide a source of independent income to the sovereign.[2][3] The estate consists of a portfolio of lands, properties and assets held in trust for the sovereign and is administered separately from the Crown Estate

I think BW's point is that cutting PA's stipend is not slimming the Monarchy. If the stipend comes from the Duchy of Lancaster and is removed from PA, then from the above Wikipedia BW is right that the 249,000 Pounds a year remains with the Duchy, ie. KC.
The net income from the Duchy is paid to the reigning sovereign, so if PA loses his stipend logically KC keeps it as he doesn't have to pay it.
The Duchy of Lancaster was described in Town & Country magazine as"that most elusive of Estates".
I can't do the maths about the restoration of BP, it's beyond me.
I don't have cats, I'm ever so much a dog lover, but need some advice. The reason for me asking is very long winded so I'll spare you.
Can a house cat go and live with two outdoorsy type cats? I can't see why not, but hey ho, said house cat might see the cat flap and want to venture into the great outdoors. Seriously though, is it a done thing or a definite no no.
I don’t understand why anyone would think KCIII should continue to give his brother a quarter of a million a year. He’s a 63 year old man quite capable of figuring out how to earn his own money! I’d also be staggered if he didn’t have a large inherited pot stashed away - it’s simply that he doesn’t want to cut his cloth and live the way he can actually afford to. The Queen funded him privately because she indulged him all his life. It was at least justifiable while he was doing public duties (in between golf and grifting). Now he still wants paying to sit on his arse?! He needs to figure out an honest way to earn a living himself! I’m glad the Waleses have learned the lesson and in the future we will no longer have to suffer these over indulged, entitled spares!KC used a lot of his income from the Duchy of Cornwall in charitable causes, such as Dumfries House which provided employment and skills.

He is refurbishing BP with plan to make it more accessible to the public….and it will bring in income as well.
He isn’t just slimming the monarchy but reinvesting for the future.
Is it Prince Hasbeen?
BREAKING NEWS ............
The Gruesomes came out from hiding this evening to announce that they blame Ashley Cole for 'just about everything bad that's happened to them'!
Fun fact: He was a big fan of our little tattle chats and our parties, so he wrote the official hymn of the VIP lounge.Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah keeps getting recorded by other artists, but no one performs it like Cohen. My favorite version is his Live from London version, performed late in life- makes me cry evertime. Backstory, after his financial manager(?) basically stole all his money, Cohen went back on the road with really good musicians, extrodinary backup singers and his signature fedora. BTW Smeagol, that's how one wears a fedora!!!
Hahahhaaaa the Pinocchio nose
The black and white sofa has rsvpd yesBarkJack sticking to their guns that they will be at the Coronation.
Found it! @Scotch Mist isCongratulations on VIP @Thalia. Since you’re waiting to enter the VIP lounge, here are some fresh made pumpkin muffins, in case you get hungry waiting.

I’m trying to find the VIP Roomba I brought last month, last I saw, some)ne was riding around on it.
btw - Meghan has been seen on Netflix pushing Archie actor twice. Why isn’t California Child Protective Services involved. It’s on freaking Netflix!
my mother always smeared butter on our new cats/kittens paws when they first ventured out so they could smell their way back.You need to keep her inside for a couple of weeks before you let her out. Otherwise she will try to find home, meaning her old home. She needs to accept the new home first. Then you never feed her before she goes outside. When you want to call her back, you only have to rattle the kibble.This works with men too btw
Can I also add that building project costs and material costs overall have virtually doubled in the last 3 years - I work with some large scale projects and some materials have increased 5 fold.BW is being daft if she’s questioning the BP renovation costs. The reports I’ve read basically say that the ten year increase might be a massive amount of money but it will still barely scratch the surface of what the building truly needs. There is stuff that risk wise has been assessed as an imminent threat to the entire place; ie one spark away from a Notre Dame. It isn’t being frittered or funnelled into anyone’s pockets if that’s what she’s implying. The politicians wouldn’t have handed over the extra if they didn’t know a building which is in constant government use and is emblematic of our country is in dire threat.
They’ve at least acted on BP - the way the MPs are dragging their feet over the Palace of Westminster is farcical! They’re dallying so long that the costs spiral ever higher and it’s now unbelievably likely it will go up in smoke at any minute. Restoring one of these ancient places after it’s burnt down costs a hundred times more than just taking care of it properly in the first place, Windsor Castle being a classic case in point!
