King Charles to receive huge pay rise from UK taxpayers

Details published by Treasury show royal family’s grant is expected to increase from £86m to £125m in 2025

Well we wouldn't want the poor loves to be on their uppers, would we? Hopefully it'll be enough to stop them from throwing another peasant or two on the fire once winter sets in.

I thought that Charlie said they were cutting back but all I have seen since the corronation is more + more of them (but mostly Bill + Cathy).

It's Willi-yum, the royal fans' favourite. No wonder the Prince of Wales is growing in confidence - and increasingly willing to carry out royal duties alone...

When Prince William visits New York in the autumn to promote his Earthshot environmental awards, it looks as though he will be doing so on alone, with Kate remaining at home.

Nothing is set in stone and this could change, of course.

But the Prince is judged by royal watchers to be growing into his new more senior role following his father's accession to the throne.

And he seems increasingly happy to take the strain himself and conduct royal engagements solo.

William made a whirlwind tour of British cities in June to promote the housing initiative, Homewards

Looking as fabulous as the Princess of Wales doesn't come cheap. But here's... How you can dress like Kate for just £5 A DAY

For anyone who envied the £420 lime tweed and chiffon fabrics dress made by the London label Self-Portrait that the Princess of Wales wore for the Wimbledon Ladies Singles Final, it's possible to get exactly the same outfit for £69.

In the week where the Govt lost two seats (losing from a 20k majority to 10+k in the opposite direction) the dailyfail comes up with multiple royal puff pieces.

Will-fucking-YUM? Excuse me while I puke and laugh hysterically at the same time. 

He's not sexy whatsoever. Even physically, he's passably fit below the neck, but hit the Windsor wall of fug hard. But his lack of sexy is really more beyond the physical.

Especially unattractive is how shitty and unsupportive and low key jealous he was and remains to his brother (and yes, Meghan).

Oh yeah, and the whole cheating on his wife thing.


The fact that they're trying to go in this direction is equal parts hilarious and pathetic.

[Sarzy]

'Will-yum' was in regard to what some fans were saying on twitter. The DM like getting content from there and yeah their captions are very cringey.

[kittylady]

There is nothing about William that is sexy to me. Losing his hair has made his head resemble a moderately horsey peanut in comparison to the rest of his body, and not only does he ooze barely contained faux-sincerity (IMHO), his rumoured spoiled, pissy and pernickety temperament seals the deal for me.

I wouldn't bang Harry either, but at least he looks like he good be a good laugh once you got him to stop twatwaffling.

Will is ugly, has zero swag, and isn’t sexy whatsoever. His personality seems to suck too. The PR trying to prove otherwise is a joke and they need to focus on something else about him to try to sell to us. Or maybe focus on Kate as she appears to be the more likable of the two.

That dress Kate wearing is ugly too.

The newest PR is that she is very intelligent+ playing the long game re the RF.
I can't find it again

God I hope he isn't a big jealous baby like his dopey fug father was when married to his mom, treating Kate like shit for being popular.

At this point that family needs to hold onto anyone with some public popularity after the monumental stupidity of letting two get away.

Apparently they have a "Royal Tour Blizz" planned

Senior Royals set for two years of tours in 'soft democrazy' blitz to shore up ties with the Commonwealth and the rest of the world.

A two-year blitz of formal visits by senior Royals is planned in a bid to protect ties with the Commonwealth and the rest of the world.

The King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales hope a show of ‘soft diplomacy’ will protect relations with countries such as Australia which want to go it alone.

The tours raise the prospect of Kate and William taking George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five, with them.

Charles has made only one state visit – to Germany in March – since becoming King.

As monarch, he has yet to visit any of the 14 Commonwealth realms outside the UK where he is head of state.

But last night a palace source said: ‘State visits are back in business.’

Palace insiders have suggested senior Royals have been frustrated at the Government’s perceived slow process for approving visits, which are decided by the Foreign Office and Royal Visits Committee.

Now plans are under way for a rescheduled visit to France by the King and Queen in September – postponed because of riots in March – and, next year, the King will visit Samoa when it hosts a Commonwealth heads of government meeting.

As The Mail on Sunday has revealed, the King and Queen will also travel to Kenya later this year.

Kenya does not recognise the King as head of state but it is seen as a major part of the Commonwealth.

William and Kate are widely expected to visit the Commonwealth country of Singapore in the autumn.

Kensington Palace has announced William will go to New York in September.

Historian Ian Lloyd said: ‘A visit by Charles to Canada and one by the Waleses to Australia and New Zealand would capitalise on the global interest in the Coronation.

They need to do this soon before that interest wanes – and taking the Waleses’ children would prove to be a PR triumph too.’

He added: ‘The problem is they are asked to undertake tours by the Government who want to utilise the Royal soft power to promote the country.

‘So, the King’s desire to maintain links with the Commonwealth has to work in tandem with the Government.

‘This was easy in the early days of Elizabeth’s reign when Prime Ministers like Churchill had a romantic vision of the old empire.’

Elizabeth was once Queen of 31 Commonwealth ‘realms’. Today there are 14 – and referendums are planned which could see more of them peel away.

Yesterday Jamaica’s premier Andrew Holness said he had hoped to cut colonial ties as soon as the Queen died but red tape and ‘a long period of public education and consultation’ were elongating the process.

Antigua and Barbuda could also break away. Prime minister Gaston Browne told the visiting Earl of Wessex last year that Britain must pay reparations for its ‘atrocities’.

Last week the Australian state of Victoria announced that it would no longer host the 2026 Commonwealth Games because they ‘do not represent value for money’.

Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government at King’s College, London, said the Royal Family could still enjoy a close relationship with Commonwealth countries after they cease to be realms.

He said: ‘It would not mean breaking ties. The vast majority of member states are republics.’

Kate has all the money to afford to buy and the figure to wear just about anything, yet she continuously dresses like an old fuddy-duddy. I'm a conservative dresser, but you can still rock conservative and look attractive and stylish. Many of the other European royal ladies look elegant and beautiful and conservatively dressed.

They tried this already and got fired by two of their territories. Seriously. Who is planning for them?

I’m just gonna say it. People don’t like the royals outside of Europe and even there it’s shaky in some places. They have to stop with these tours. They consistently say or do something tone deaf and piss off the locals. The tours are expensive and ultimately pointless because their kingdom is SHRINKING. They need to focus on something else. Or make up with Meghan and Harry and send them or something. This ain’t it.
