Beskrivning
How can a family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 now be one of the richest in the country? In this eye-opening analysis of royal finances, former Minister of State Norman Baker leaves no stone unturned in exposing how the royals lobby governments and the media to maximise their cut from the public purse and how they take advantage of a uniquely beneficial tax and legislative regime.Packed with details on the acceptance of dodgy donations, the appropriation of official gifts for personal use, and the exploitation of the NHS, churches and charities, who are charged punitive rates for the use of Duchy-controlled land, this provocative expose has been fully updated in paperback, with details on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his money-making endeavours, including his friendships with convicted fraudsters, paedophiles and spies.Laying bare their extravagant use of public money, opaque business dealings and general bad behaviour, this is the book the royal family really don't want you to read.

"In his punchy book, Norman Baker comprehensively exposes the scandalous truth about the royals and their insatiable drive to enrich themselves. It will shake the beliefs of even the most fervent monarchists." - Rob Evans, The Guardian"Norman Baker has been ploughing a courageous lonely furrow for years in asking unanswered questions about our reverence for the royal family and the advantage they take of our worship. It is high time we took notice." - Nigel Jones, historian, journalist and author"Norman Baker pulls back the curtain on how the royal family is funded in this fascinating book, offering a clear-eyed view of the financial costs and benefits of the monarchy in the twenty-first century." - Christopher Hope, political editor, GB News"Norman Baker's hard-hitting book, cataloguing countless staggering examples of royal greed and exploitation, makes for urgent reading. It's a wake-up call for monarchists, for passive republicans and for the many who care about this country and democracy." - Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist for The i
