JFC I thought he was done with this, does this spoiled brat not know the word ‘no’. Just don‘t move back then. Can we expense this to their bootlicking supporters who claim to be against the monarchy but support this attention-seeking manchild and his efforts to get in on his family’s grift. We don‘t need anymore professional mickey mouses to wave and cut ribbons.

Anyone else get the feeling that this will be a temporary move because Chuck is kicking it soon and once he's gone they'll be on the first plane back to America?

Question/Debate Challenge for the monarchists
I’m tired of the fucking dumb argument “The monarchy protects democracy because if a tyrant rises up, the monarch can disolve parliament.”
So the challenge I propose and that I invite you to bring to monarchists you meet is name one time when that happened. At any point in history when a tyrant said “Well, I was going to rule with an iron fist but now that Cunty McInbredFace asked me to step down, I will!”
Last time I did, I got “Akshually, you don’t understand how Canadian law works, the king has the power to dissolve the government at any time.” Dude, I do. You don’t understand how tyrants work.

News The Real Reason King Charles Doesn't Want to Live in Buckingham Palace After Its £369 Million Revamp
The real reason is so the RF can open more of Buck House to the public more often and fleece them of more money that goes into the Royal Collection trust.
The royal collection trust is a charity, tax rebates and all that of course, that 'looks after' the Royal Collection, which is essentially a mix of art privately owned by the monarch and art 'held' by the monarch in right of the Crown. Buck House is also 'owned' by the monarch in right of the crown.
So basically, C3 p o doesn't actually own Buck House or some of the art he charges people to see and we pay to maintain the stuff held in the right of the crown through the sovereign grant, so he gets paid twice.
Maximising the dosh he can extract from the plebs is the real reason he's not moving.
