Zelensky needs a place to flee to.
I usually read 2 or 3 UK papers a day and watch several Brit YouTubers ( these are NOT gossip mongers and KNOW what they are talking about; one being an Aristo ) as well.
Since I had ONLY read parts of one today, I checked the others.
First of all, NO ROYAL is permitted to sell a CROWN PROPERTY! And a DUTCHY is CROWN PROPERTY! The CAN be "gifted"/come into possession by the next heir to the throne. That's IT!
The personally owned property, such as Osborne Island, which Prince Albert bought for Queen Victoria, as a get-a-away place, is one such.
Thanks for doing the scut work!
You make good points.
Someone tried to pump the "sold" story on Wikipedia.
That's all I noted. :)
The Russians are NOT that stupid!
It's akin to when foreign pranksters called Harry the Dim and claimed to be Greta, SAVE US FROM THE CLIMATE, child. And he FELL for it...hook, lone, and sinker!
I just don’t understand WHY so many here fall for this BOVINE EXCREMENT. :-(
Okay, I admit to being an Anglophile, a history buff since a small child, and probably know more about some topics than others here do; however, this was SO glaringly idiotic, nobody should have fallen for it; not even those with no knowledge of the UK ROYALS, history, etc.!
Thanks for checking!
From what I have read, King Charles loves Highgrove and I would be surprised if he sold it.
Also, isn’t this where he is resting after cancer treatments, so this article does not seem legitimate.
“I agree. I cannot believe Z, or anyone for that matter, could possibly be that unbelievably stupid”
Corrupt, maybe. Stupid, no. There is something really wrong in Ukraine. They have vast mineral and agricultural wealth, a large industrial base, an educated population comparable to Canada’s in size. Yet it is the poorest nation in Europe.
How many Kremlinbots on this thread?
King Charles is THE BEST Duke of Cornwall ever! He has made certain that those who live there also get some of the profits from the produce, had updated the buildings, and those who live there ADORE him!
He owns a place in Transylvania, that he loves. He can LEGALLY sell that, but NOT HIGHGROVE !
They aren’t serious people, they just like the emotional exchanges and games, look at the threads.
And your question just adds YOU to the list!
Nobody here was cheering on Russian!
“There is something ominous to this, most all top officials are getting posts to England, kids sent there for schooling, relocating there, Boris Johnson cancelled Peace talks, etc..”
England and its inbred aristocrat ruling class has pulled us into two world wars and the wasting of a half a million American lives. I think we should be bombing London and hanging anyone with a title from the King on down to the knights.
Add to that, when someone posts FACTS, those posters 1) refuse to accept them 2) want to fight about it 3) start flame wars.
Soooooooooooooooo...you've NEVER heard about THE SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA?
How about the THE BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR!
Believe it or not, quite a few Americans, WHO ARE NOT POLS/OFFICIALS/IN ANY AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ROLE send their progeny to elite Brit boarding schools/universities/colleges.
You should refrain from posting about topics you neither know about nor understand.
These stories are all posted and pushed by the same group here too. Posters who have been here long enough to know better.
Yep. And look at all the gullible morons. What has happened to FR is sad.
[This article is not just patently ridiculous, it is just plain old STUPID!
That house and ground belong to the Dutchy of Cornwall and one MUST be a DUKE OF CORNWALL to own it!
Actually “own” isn’t really the correct word...it’s the Duke’s to LOOK AFTER!]
