The Jamaican government will introduce a bill next month to sever the country’s ties with the British monarchy, possibly removing King Charles as the head of state by 2024, legal and constitutional minister Marlene Malahoo Forte told Sky News on Thursday.
“While the United Kingdom is celebrating the coronation of the King, that is for the United Kingdom,” Malahoo Forte told Sky. “Jamaica is looking to write a new constitution… which will sever ties with the monarch as our head of state.”
“My government is saying we have to do it now,” she continued, adding that for Jamaicans, it’s “time to say goodbye” to the British crown.
Malahoo Forte explained that her government will follow King Charles III’s coronation this weekend by introducing a bill aimed at making Jamaica a republic. It could take around nine months to pass, and would be followed by a referendum giving the Jamaican people the final say on breaking away from the UK.
A recent poll has found that majorities in almost half of British Commonwealth countries – including Jamaica – would vote to become republics if given the opportunity.
A British colony since 1655, Jamaica was granted independence in 1962. Jamaican political leaders at the time rejected republicanism in favor of becoming a Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. Successive Jamaican governments have promised to replace the monarch with a president, but all have either been defeated by pro-Commonwealth opponents or left office before fulfilling their promise.
Although most Jamaicans now favor republicanism, many “had warm affection and identified with Queen Elizabeth II,” Malahoo Forte told Sky. “But they do not identify with King Charles. He is as foreign as it gets to us. Plain and simple.” Others view the monarchy as a source of stability, with some elderly Kingston residents telling the British broadcaster that the Jamaican public aren’t “ready” to rule themselves.
Historically, British rule brought order to the island. Jamaica on the eve of its independence had a murder rate of 3.9 per 100,000, one of the lowest in the world. In 2022, the homicide rate stood at 43.8 per 100,000, the second-highest in the world.
Britain also transported around 600,000 African slaves to Jamaica, and British landowners profiteered from plantations on the island. Republicanism, Malahoo Forte said, “is about us saying goodbye to a form of government that is linked to a painful past of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade.”
While Britain’s Prince William acknowledged last year that “slavery was abhorrent,” Malahoo Forte wants more from the monarchy. “Nothing short of a full apology, plus concrete steps to repair the wrong, will suffice,” she said, adding that reparations “are what the people of Jamaica want, and it is something that the government will do.”
Top Thai officials are pulling off their gloves against Pfizer Bio N Tech and could become the first country in the world to Nullify the contracts between the government and Pfizer.This would mean Pfizer would have to pay back billions of dollars because of their jabs to the Thai people.
“On December 15, about three weeks after her third Pfizer booster shot, Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati collapsed with heart issues and went into a coma.
“The 44-year-old eldest daughter of the King in Thailand, and likely heir to the throne, had reported to be in excellent health prior to the vaccination and collapsed while training her dogs.
The media seemed to generally lose interest after a January 9 update in which it was reported the princess remained in a coma and, according to the palace, has now been diagnosed with “severe heart arrhythmia resulting from inflammation following a mycoplasma infection.
One authority recently suggested that Thailand was preparing to declare its contracts for Pfizer vaccine “null and void” and go after the vaccine maker for damages.
Propagandists in the media have launched into overdrive to try to discredit such news and to claim “no evidence” of a vaccine tie to the sudden illness of the princess (without mentioning that there is no evidence exonerating the vaccine, either).
Google and other Big Tech companies, as well as their “fact-checkers” have repeatedly disseminated disinformation and censored accurate information on Covid and vaccines on behalf of vaccine industry interests.” (Sheryl Attikson)
“One daughter of the present king Rama X collapsed and is in a coma… within 23 days after the third shot, 44 years old, never been seriously ill, collapsed and is now in a coma.
The diagnosis that was given by the authorities and by the university is so ridiculous – she’s supposed to have a bacterial infection that will never do what she suffered from.
And so we are determined, and the activists in Thailand who have been on this many many months now – great guys, also a professor from the University of Bangkok, he’s gotten in touch with the Royal Family, and we are sending information to the Royal Family to alert them to the fact that in all probability the princess is suffering as a victim of this jab, as so many people around the world have been suffering.

Is Pfizer in trouble with the Thai government over the Thai Princess' "vaccine injury"? 🧐
Top Thai officials are pulling off their gloves against Pfizer Bio N Tech and could become the first country in the world to Nullify the contracts between the government and Pfizer.
This would mean Pfizer would have to pay back billions of dollars because of their jabs to the Thai people.

Comment by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
Our thoughts are with Thailand’s Princess Bajrakitiyabha
A decision by Thailand to repeal its contractual relationship with Pfizer has to be carefully thought out. What we are dealing with on the part of Pfizer is a criminal endeavor applied Worldwide.
The Royal Thai Government should “nullify” its contracts with Pfizer while contemplating a formal criminal legal procedure against Pfizer, (which incidentally already has a criminal record for fraudulent marketing with the US Department of Justice) (2009).
We are no longer in the realm of “fraudulent marketing”.
The vaccine was launched in mid-December 2020.A Confidential Report by Pfizer released under Freedom of Information in October 2021, confirms unequivocally based on data recorded from mid-December 2020 to the end of February 2021 that the vaccine is a toxic substance resulting in mortality and morbidity.
The Report is now in the public domain. It should be consulted by the Royal Thai Government:
“Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders.”
The evidence is overwhelming. The data compiled from mid-December 2020 to the end of February 2021 unequivocally confirms “Manslaughter”. Based on that evidence, Pfizer had the responsibility to immediately cancel and withdraw the “vaccine”.
Pfizer’s Worldwide marketing of the Covid-19 Vaccine beyond February 28th, 2021, is no longer an “Act of Manslaughter”.
Murder as opposed to Manslaughter implies “Criminal Intent”.
Pfizer’s Covid 19 Vaccine constitutes a Criminal Act. From a legal standpoint, it is an “Act of Murder” applied Worldwide to a target population of 8 billion people. It’s a multibillion-dollar project.
What is contained in Pfizer’s “confidential” report is detailed evidence of the impacts of the “vaccine” on mortality and morbidity.
This data which emanates from the “Horse’s Mouth” can be used to confront as well as formulate criminal legal procedures against Pfizer.
There is no good reason to allow the evil empire to retain any legitimacy as the British royal family papers over the pillage it continues to benefit from.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch of British royalty, has sparked global fascination and spawned thousands of clickbait reports of the details of her funeral. Americans, who centuries ago rejected monarchy, are seemingly obsessed with the ritualism, bizarrely mourning the demise of an elderly and fabulously wealthy woman who was born into privilege and who died of natural causes at the ripe old age of 96 across the ocean.
Perhaps this is because popular and long-running TV shows about British royalty like “The Crown” have convinced us that we know intimate details about the royals—and worse, they cause us to believe we should care about a family that is a symbolic marker of past imperial grandeur.
But for those who are descended from the subjects of British imperialist conquest, the queen, her ancestors, and her descendants represent the ultimate evil empire.
India, my home country, celebrated its 75th anniversary of independence from British rule this year. Both my parents were born before independence, into a nation still ruled by the British. I heard many tales while growing up of my grandfather’s absences from home as he went “underground,” wanted for seditious activity against the British. After independence in 1947, he was honored for being a “freedom fighter” against the monarchy.
Despite the popularity and critical acclaim of “The Crown” and movies and shows like it, I found a far stronger connection to the new superhero series “Ms. Marvel,” if for no other reason than the fact that it tackles the horrors of partition, a little-known (in the U.S.) legacy of the evil empire.
As Pakistani writer Minna Jaffery-Lindemulder explains in New Lines, “The British changed the borders of India and Pakistan at the eleventh hour in 1947 before declaring both nations independent, leaving the former subjects of the crown confused about where they needed to migrate to ensure their safety.” As a result, 15 million people felt forced to move from one part of the South Asian subcontinent to another, a mass cross-exodus with an estimated death toll ranging from half a million to 2 million.
Today, those contested borders, callously and recklessly drawn in 1947 by British officials acting at the behest of the crown, remain a source of simmering tensions between India and Pakistan that occasionally erupt into full-blown wars.
This is the legacy of British monarchy. The United Kingdom enjoys a hideous distinction in the Guinness Book of World Records, for “most countries [62] to have gained independence from the same country.”
One could argue that Elizabeth, who was gifted the throne and its title in 1952, did not lead an aggressive empire of conquest and instead presided over an institution that, under her rule, became largely symbolic and ceremonial in nature. And indeed, many do just that, referring to her, for example, as an “exemplar of moral decency.”
Rahul Mahajan, author of Full Spectrum Dominance and The New Crusade, has a different opinion, referring in an interview to Elizabeth as a “morally unremarkable person with a job that involved doing extremely unremarkable things.”
Mahajan explains further, saying that this was “a highly privileged person, given an opportunity to influence world events in some degree, which she had to do nothing to earn, who never did anything particularly remarkable, innovative, or insightful.”
…the Royal family is the galvanising force of colonialism. The concept of empire sits in existence next to cancer, insofar as they are both forces for malignant growth. Bursts of enthusiasm for them are like cheering on your murderer.
The British Monarchy is one of the world’s more malignant forces and we are thoroughly entitled to say so. Quite contrary to its micromanaged image of a kindly benefactor, serving the best interests of the people, it is the apotheosis of rot, corruption, and evil, an outdated institution harking back to the middle ages, steeped deep in scandal, nepotism, toxic entitlement. Accountability is absent. Its preening pageantry is bombastic yet dull. It is a bastion of elitism and intolerance, yet, despite being evidently malignant, criticising it is frowned upon.
You haven’t seen reactionary patriotism until you’ve seen a nation mourning a deceased queen. And I am standing in the middle of it, feeling somewhat confused and perplexed by endless pronouncements on the Queen’s honor and integrity, knawing at my ears. It has knawed right through to the brain of some people, their central nervous system hijacked and programmed to feel in some way indebted to a woman who sat on a throne funded by taxpayers, the people autonomically performing heart-rending tributes.
Properly adhering to the rules of democracy, monarchies are illegitimate and basically illegal. Indeed, illegality is a running theme with the British royals, some characterised by their rancid crimes, such as Prince Andrew, clinging to his privilege to evade punishment for paedophilia and networking with sex traffickers. Despite the royals embodying scandal of this enormity, there are, nonetheless, very few avenues left for criticising them.
Contractually obliged by virtue of their status as leaders of the institution of the British Empire, the Royal family is the galvanising force of colonialism. The concept of empire sits in existence next to cancer, insofar as they are both forces for malignant growth. Bursts of enthusiasm for them are like cheering on your murderer. Down in their dirty secrets, past their disgraceful treatment of Diana, the Royal family were in cahoots with serial child abuser and rapist Jimmy Saville, who was so far in with the royals they used him as a mediator with Diana, who naturally loathed him.
In conclusion, the British monarchy is hell’s answer to how to govern a country.
…We can talk about the oil rags of this tyranny, we must never forget the engineers because like I say, these people even Schwab and Gates, higher up the hierarchy as they may be, are still gofers for a force, a network that spans the world and works through apparently individual governments to the same, sinister satanic end and places like this is where they operate from
It is to understand as we scan nearly 8 billion people being manipulated and imposed upon by a tiny few. We need to understand where the real power is and it’s not with satanic forces that operate out of places like the City of London. Our perception that they have power is a misunderstanding of where the power is. Their power, the power of the few is simply the acquiescence to their diktats by the many.
It’s always been us! It’s always been us throughout known human history who have handed our power to the few which is why throughout human history the few have always controlled the many.
David Icke Speech in London 17th September – Transcribed by Christopher Briscoe
“Well, well, bloody well! How appropriate! How apt that we should stand here today next to the Bank of England (cheers) in one of the global bellies of the beast – The City of London financial district – the square mile!
And how, how apt to, that we gather here today in this belly of the beast. While in other parts of this City millions come together to pay homage and exalt a very symbol of their oppression and enslavement – and that’s what I want to emphasize today where all this is actually coming from.
Where Covid came from, the jab came from, human-caused global warming nonsense has come from, the Ukraine narrative, and now the eulogization by so many millions of a Royal family that is the head of state only because of who had sex with who within one family. It is nonsensical – it is an expression of the very hierarchy, so run from places like this that has held humanity in servitude for known human history.
Of course, the demonic faces on these banners must face justice for their mega crimes against humanity, (cheers) and we must not rest until they do so. Hancock, Witty, and all of them! Yes ‘Midazolam Matt Hancock’ (boos) is still at large, a man who oversaw the mass murder of the elderly in the spring of 2020 with an end-of-life drug called Midazolam, who then called it the first wave of covid when it was the first wave of democide. Murder, mass murder by the state!
Hancock, Witty, Vallance, Javid, Johnson, Fatab(?) Yes they must face the consequences for their actions, but it goes much bigger than them – they are not the architects of mass murder and mass control, they are the gophers, the agents, the accomplices of something much greater that hides in the shadows in places like this – the square mile run by secret societies of pure bloody evil!
And I say this to the police forces of these lands – It is to your, to your shame in extremis that you have stood by and continue to stand by while your fellow humans are murdered, and not only that, not only that, you then protect, and keep from justice the very people who are doing the murdering while at the same time, you abuse, seek to silence and marginalize those with the moral courage and the awareness to challenge the murder and expose the murder! You, you in uniform are not there primarily to protect the people – that is a myth! You are there to protect those from whom the people need protecting! (yeah!) Moral courage! Where is your self-respect, where is your awareness of what you do?
But, we can talk about the oil rags of this tyranny, we must never forget the engineers because like I say, these people even Schwab and Gates, higher up the hierarchy as they may be, are still gofers for a force, a network that spans the world and works through apparently individual governments to the same, sinister satanic end and places like this is where they operate from. The plan is this which is why, we must, yes, focus on the gofers and the oil rags for their part in this, but we must not lose sight of where it is coming from because the plan is to create the unfolding catastrophe for humanity that’s happening all over the world, and this winter we’ve seen nothing yet with the energy prices where people of fixed incomes and no incomes will have to choose between food and warmth.
I wonder if Charlie boy will be doing that!? (laughter) So the idea, as it’s started with lockdown and continues now with the destruction of the economy through the massive increases in energy and fuel.
The idea is for people in individual countries, quote, to blame their governments and cult gofers in government for everything because the idea then is having dismantled our lives and our ability to put food on the table and warmth in our homes, that the other level of the cult, via its corporations, its banks, yes, and its politicians, er, political people who are controlled by them to come forward and say, look at the mess that governments have made of your lives. But we are now going to step forward, we the corporations, the banks, the billionaires of the cult, to save you from what your governments have imposed upon you when those same people from the background have been orchestrating the catastrophe via those governments and gofers in government.
It is a mind trick that they are seeking to play – it’s in their bloody documents. And we mustn’t buy it. We must see the gofer’s responsibility, but we must also see where it is coming from and, so yes they must face the consequences, but we must understand the game that is playing us and cease to take part.
And there’s another mind trick that we must always be aware of, and that is that we are manipulated in our anger in our fury at what is being done to become what we oppose. What we fight we become! The world over, the history over, you see the evidence constantly of people challenging tyranny and then becoming the architects of tyranny by succumbing to the same mentality and the same methodology of those they oppose.
We have to go in another direction – you do not eliminate the low ground by fighting on it. You eliminate the low ground by ceasing to cooperate with it. By building something better and refusing to cooperate with anything else, because the most powerful word in the English language, or any other language, is and has always been, it is the word that has ended every tyranny in history and ultimately it will end this one.
And that word, of course, is: “No! No! No!”
It is to understand as we scan nearly 8 billion people being manipulated and imposed upon by a tiny few. We need to understand where the real power is and it’s not with satanic forces that operate out of places like the City of London. Our perception that they have power is a misunderstanding of where the power is. Their power, the power of the few is simply the acquiescence to their diktats by the many.
How can 8 billion people be controlled by a handful unless those 8 billion, or most of them, give their power to the handful? This has to end and when it ends this tyranny will end! (cheers)
People say what’s the solution?!!!. (said forcefully) Get yourself a calculator, put in 8 billion, take away the number in full knowledge of who is imposing this and there’s your bloody solution!
And what it takes, what it takes is just that stiffened backbone that courage to stand up to what is a house of cards if only we would stop holding it together.
Let’s look our children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them that we are too frightened to stand up to this tyranny, tell them that we can’t be bothered to research what’s actually going on and instead sit there getting our perception from the BBC and the Daily bloody Mail. (boos)!
This is the time for humanity to take responsibility for its world to stop pointing the finger and saying ‘it’s them’. No! It’s us! It’s always been us! It’s always been us throughout known human history who have handed our power to the few which is why throughout human history the few have always controlled the many.
Enough! No More!
The mantra of the people, as others gather in their millions to worship their oppression let the mantra of the awake people, those that can see and their number is growing all the time be: ‘No No No!”
We will no longer acquiesce and cooperate with our own enslavement because when we stop doing so, we cannot be enslaved!
This is the time to change human history by changing the public population response that has created human history.
8 billion – Wake up! Wake up! And when we do, this tyranny not only will be over, it will be impossible for it to maintain its power because its power is our power. We give it to them. It’s time, my God it’s long past the time to take it back! Thank you very much!”
The establishment wants you to drink up the fantasy the Monarchy embodies the “best of Britain”. It’s the opposite. It’s the enduring embodiment of the worst of Britain: inherited wealth + privilege, a rigid class system, structural racism, imperialism, and unaccountable power.
Sex abuse victims say the Duke of York should have mourned his mother’s death in private
Another way of saying he is guilty: “Andrew was stripped of his royal patronages and honorary military titles earlier this year after he settled a civil lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexually assaulting her while she was still a minor in 2001.”
Lawyers who represented victims of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein told The Independent that their clients are angry and upset after seeing Prince Andrew return to public life following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The British royal, who has also been accused of abuse, was an associate of Epstein.
Andrew was stripped of his royal patronages and honorary military titles earlier this year after he settled a civil lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexually assaulting her while she was still a minor in 2001. Andrew refrained from public appearances after the settlement, but the disgraced royal has returned to the spotlight following the death of his mother, walking in the Queen’s funeral procession and standing vigil at her coffin in Westminster Hall.
“For the victims that are involved, seeing him in these types of public appearances and being praised by the public, it’s frustrating to them,” Spencer Kevin, a Florida-based lawyer who represented nine of Epstein’s victims, told The Independent.
This is a man they see as someone who is, at the very least, disrespectful to the victims, by his friendship with a pedophile. And for him to be lauded in public, as he’s doing, and to be praised by the public, which is what he’s seeking, is insulting.
Kevin suggested that Andrew may be attempting to “rehabilitate his image in the public,” and said that the Duke of York should have grieved in private instead. Mariann Wang, a New York-based lawyer who represented up to a dozen of Epstein’s victims, agreed, calling Andrew’s appearance in public “quite outrageous.”
Epstein’s victims aren’t the only people upset at Andrew’s recent appearances. As the Queen’s funeral cortege made its way through Edinburgh last weekend, a young man was arrested after he called the prince a “sick old man.”
Epstein and Andrew were friends, and the British royal admitted to staying at Epstein’s properties even after the American financier had been jailed in 2008 for soliciting a child for prostitution. Epstein was arrested again in 2019 and accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls but was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell before he could be brought to trial. His death was officially ruled a suicide.
Amid the mind-numbing eulogies to Queen Elizabeth II, it is frequently asserted that she was “one of us” and “everyone’s grandmother”.

Commentator Andrew Marr, a pillar of the media establishment, wrote a fawning comment in the Times, headlined, “Queen Elizabeth II: the majestic enigma who was one of us”. He went as far as to declare, “During the rawest, roughest years of the Thatcherite experiment, the Queen even seemed dryly oppositionist.”
This claim has been made throughout the media and parroted in ruling circles everywhere. Nothing was ever further from the truth. The queen heads a family of billionaires and lived a life of fabulous and unearned wealth and privilege. She ended her reign at Balmoral Castle, her £140 million private residence, as over 14 million of her “subjects”, including over 4 million children, live in poverty.
As well as Balmoral, the Sandringham House estate, valued at £600 million, was also privately owned by the queen.

Everything she and her family and relatives possesses is thanks to centuries of pillage and plunder by her forebears. Moreover, most of this staggering wealth is assiduously protected from taxation by the state.
The fortune of the monarch is shrouded in secrecy, but it runs into the many billions of pounds.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List, the queen was personally worth around £370 million. But this was only identifiable wealth. The Paradise Papers, leaked in 2017, show that among the queen’s hidden dealings, via the Duchy of Lancaster estate she owned, was the parking of millions of pounds in a Cayman Islands fund. Part of that fund went to a retailer, BrightHouse, cited for exploiting poor UK families through its hire-to-own scheme.
The queen’s will must now remain under lock and key for 90 years, stemming from a protocol established in 1910. As Reuters noted the monarch’s “will is one of more than 30 kept in a safe in an undisclosed location in London, under the care of a judge. By convention, after a senior royal dies, the executor of their will applies to the head of the London High Court’s Family Division for the will to be sealed. Successive judges in that position have always agreed.”
Sealing the will of the queen’s husband Prince Philip in 2021, the judge declared, “The degree of publicity that publication would be likely to attract would be very extensive and wholly contrary to the aim of maintaining the dignity of the Sovereign.”
Due to a deal between Downing Street and Buckingham Palace in 1993, a vast amount of untaxed wealth cascaded down to Charles III and his successor, Prince William, upon the queen’s death.
Charles inherited from the queen the Duchy of Lancaster estate, established in 1351, which reported net assets of £651 million in the 2021-22 financial year and £24 million in profits.
The income of the Duchy of Cornwall estate, established in 1337 by King Edward III for his heir, was inherited by then Prince Charles upon his 21st birthday. In the 50 years since, Charles piled up staggering wealth through the Duchy now passed to Prince William inheritance tax-free. In the 2021-22 financial year its net assets were valued at £1 billion, with £25 million in profits going into Charles’s pocket.
These revenue sources are dwarfed by the major entity funding the royals, the Crown Estate. Established in 1760, its net assets were valued at £17 billion in 2021/22, with profits of £313 million.
It would take volumes to fully document the resources contained in these estates. The Duchy of Lancaster owns more than 18,000 hectares of land in England and Wales, including farms, homes, and commercial properties. This includes 70 square miles of farmland, 10 castles, a private airfield, and two acres of prime London real estate, including the land beneath the Savoy Hotel.
The Duchy of Cornwall, notes the Financial Times, “owns almost 130,000 acres of land, including the Isles of Scilly, large parts of Dartmoor and 260 farms, and holds £92mn of financial investments. But the bulk of its income comes from its commercial property portfolio, investing in assets such as offices and retail parks.” It adds, “The Duchy owns some of Charles’s residences, such as Highgrove House in Gloucestershire and Llwynywermod, the Carmarthenshire former home of a relative of [queen] Anne Boleyn bought for a reported £1.2mn in 2006.” None of the profits of the dutchy are liable for corporation or capital gains tax.
The main value of the Crown Estate’s assets is contained in a vast property portfolio. Included is a large part of central London comprising some 10 million square feet of land. This includes two entire main thoroughfares, Regents Street and St James Street, and Kensington Palace Gardens.
The rural holdings of the Crown Estate contain around 287,000 acres of agricultural land and forests. Huge mineral wealth is available to them with rights to extract them from 285,500 acres. As of 2018, the estate was extracting sand, gravel, limestone, granite, brick clay, slate, and dimension stone from 34 locations.
The Crown Estate owns virtually all the UK’s seabed up to the 12-nautical-mile (22 km) limit, with the Guardian noting this is “an asset that has become increasingly lucrative since the North Sea oil boom and, more recently, auctions of plots for offshore wind farms.”
An article published in the trade website Fish Farmer this month noted, “As well as a number of rural rents and salmon fishing rights on land, Crown Estate Scotland is responsible for the leasing of virtually all seabed out to 12 nautical miles, covering some 750 fish farming sites and agreements with cables & pipeline operators, and the rights to offshore renewable energy and gas and carbon dioxide storage out to 200 nautical miles from the shore.”

Most of the royal palaces are owned by the Crown Estate, including Buckingham Palace (775 rooms) and Windsor Castle (over 1,000 rooms and 300 grand fireplaces), and Charles’s official four-storey London residence, Clarence House. His main country retreat, Highgrove (four reception rooms, nine main bedrooms), is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, now belonging to Prince William.
The Royal Collection, containing over a million objects, including 7,000 paintings, 500,000 prints, and 30,000 drawings from most of art’s masters, is the largest private art collection in the world and is owned by the reigning monarch in the right of the Crown. Parts of it were privately owned by the queen. The Royal Philatelic Collection of stamps alone is valued at £100 million. Including the Crown Jewels, the Royal Collection is valued at an estimated £10 billion.

Ensuring that the wealth of the royal family remains largely hidden and untouched has been a major pre-occupation of successive governments. In 1993, following a fire a Windsor Castle, and with the monarchy mired in numerous scandals, the question of who would foot the massive bill for the fire damage achieved national prominence.
John Major’s Conservative government came to an arrangement with the queen that for the first time she would voluntarily pay income tax on the Dutchy of Lancaster revenues not used for official purposes. However, the monarch is still not legally obliged to pay any income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. Major told Parliament, “In the unique circumstances of a hereditary monarchy, special arrangements are needed for inheritance tax.” This was a far more lucrative outcome for the monarchy, dwarfing anything they would go on to pay in income tax.
The 1993 deal allowed that any inheritance passed from “sovereign to sovereign” would avoid the standard 40 percent levy applied to assets valued at more than £325,000. It also ensures that the inheritance of a consort of a former sovereign to a sovereign avoid tax. Within 10 years it ensured that the queen’s mother could pass to the queen an untaxed £70 million.
Since 1760, when George III surrendered control of the Estate’s revenues to the Treasury, the monarch was paid a generous annual grant running into millions, known as the Civil List. This arrangement was altered in 2012, with the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition agreeing with the queen the Civil List’s replacement by a “Sovereign Grant”. This is calculated as a percentage of the income of the Crown Estate, making the maximisation of such revenues of direct financial interest to the monarch. According to the formula, the amount paid out to the monarchy via the grant can never be reduced from the previous year.
The percentage paid back to the monarch as the Sovereign Grant was initially set at 15 percent. In 2016, this was increased for a 10-year period in order to pay for the £369 million refurbishment of Buckingham Palace. Just in the last decade around £600 million has been handed over to the monarchy via the grant, including last year’s £86.3 million.
We’ve lost it. Prince Andrew paid off the woman suing him for sexual abuse Up to £12m And was stripped of military titles as a result Both imply guilt And yet he walks free & will face no justice While a 22-year-old who heckled him is charged with a breach of the peace.
Prince Andrew has settled a civil sexual assault case brought against him in the US by Virginia Giuffre. Ms Giuffre had been suing the Duke of York, claiming he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17, allegations he has repeatedly denied.Feb 15, 2022
The Facts: Sonia Poulton, a British journalist, social commentator, and filmmaker, has been investigating the dark web of pedophilia for years. Some of her research has been compiled into a documentary called “Pedophiles In Parliament.”
Reflect On: Evidence has been emerging for decades with regards to this type of activity in ‘high profile places.’ Why, only now, is the entire planet starting to wake up to this fact? Reflect on how much power and control these people have.
”They use all forms of persuasion to prevent people from speaking out, to silence people. Threats, intimidation, blackmail, financial deprivation. And all types of harassment such as put under intensive surveillance, telephone tapping, all of this. They pull out the stops and they have unlimited funds because those funds are supplied by the tax payer” Andrea Davison, Former Intelligence Agent (source)
Whilst the global press is focusing on Prince Andrew’s alleged involvement with Jefferey Epstein’s child trafficking sex ring, this may, in fact, actually pale in comparison to other criminal activity involving children by the hands of the British Establishment.
Sonia Poulton, a British journalist, social commentator, and filmmaker, has been investigating the dark web of pedophilia for years that connects Margaret Thatcher, ‘Sir’ Edward Heath, David Cameron, Theresa May, and Jeremey Corbyn to the cover-up (and for some, the actual facilitation) of sex crimes against children. It is thought that this cover-up, may have been going on for at least 30 years.
Her documentary ‘Paedophiles in Parliament’ is a shocking expose which links many MPs to child abuse. Sonia exposes how the British Royal Family is also tied into this.
Prominent Royal members were openly well-known friends to the now-deceased and notoriously depraved pedophile Jimmy Saville. Curiously, it is said that he had access to the Palace whenever he liked. With MI5 and Scotland Yard having the job of ‘vetting’ everyone around the Royals, it would have been known to them, that Jimmy Saville at the very least, had a very bad reputation and really was not ‘royal’ material.
Yet, he had a very close relationship with Prince Charles, for decades.
As he throws Prince Andrew under the bus, Prince Charles, heir to the throne, is desperate to keep his fortune-building business out of the limelight. But a new book reveals all

Buckingham Palace has been decontaminated. Prince Andrew’s office has been closed down. Any chair he sat in has been reupholstered, all doorknobs swabbed down. Let’s not even talk about the bathrooms.
I can’t remember a time when the royal family’s damage control was so swift and absolute. Priests are excommunicated with less haste and more mercy than Andrew in the wake of his disastrous BBC Epstein-related interview, and its ever-cascading fallout. But I detect the odor of scapegoating and hypocrisy in the decisive role that Prince Charles has played in this purge against his brother.
The urgency of Charles’s actions amounted to panic—the kind of panic that suggests that the future King is worried that the whole “firm” is in jeopardy. Nobody wants to lose the Queen but there are distinct signs that the prospect of King Charles IV is far from appealing to many of her subjects.
A recent poll by YouGov found that millennials are cooling toward the monarchy—among 18- to 24-year-olds, only 41 percent are in favor of keeping it.
And one of the things that more and more people are sniffing out about Charles is that he’s a phony—that behind his façade of concern for the future of the planet and talk about slimming down the monarchy, he is an outrageous hypocrite on both counts.
There is persuasive evidence for this in a new book, What the Royal Family Don’t Want You to Know…And What Do You Do? (Biteback Publishing, UK) by Norman Baker, a former government minister and long-time Member of Parliament who has become a zealous auditor of the royal firm’s accounts and travel habits.
Among the red flags that Baker raises are:
Charles has turned his vast personal fief, the Duchy of Cornwall, into a brand of high-end supermarket foods that makes an annual profit of more than £21 million ($27.1 million) on which he pays no corporate taxes.
Although he pays income tax (albeit “voluntarily”) he is allowed to make huge deductions for expenses including the costs of a personal staff of 28, including butlers, valets and gardeners—as well as those of the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, including her jewels, clothes and stabling for horses.
He pays market price rent to the Duchy on Highgrove, his sprawling country estate, but all that money comes straight back to him in the Duchy’s profits without any deductions for tax—amounting, in fact, to self-dealing.
The Duchy audits its own accounts and gives no right of access to the government watchdog, the National Audit Office.
When Charles made a tour of Europe to promote awareness of climate change he flew to Rome, Berlin and Venice on a private jet, leaving a carbon footprint of 52.95 tonnes—using commercial flights would have reduced emissions by 95 percent.
The latest available annual travel costs (2018/19) for Charles and Camilla were £1.3 million ($1.68 million) and in that one year the carbon emissions generated by travel by the whole royal family doubled to 3,344 tonnes.
The Daily Beast reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment, and did not receive a response.
What makes Baker’s book particularly unusual is that he is currently a member of the Privy Council, the body of the “great and the wise” appointed as advisers to the Queen.
The title Duke of Cornwall is a lesser of Charles’s titles, Prince of Wales being the principal. But there is no loot with the Welsh title, nor much involvement with Wales except being invested with the title at an empty medieval pile, Caenarvon Castle, for which it is required to learn a few perfunctory lines of Welsh.
In contrast, the Duchy of Cornwall is loaded with wealth and land holdings that go back to 1337. Only 13 percent of the land is in Cornwall; there is four times as much in neighboring Devon, including 160 miles of coastline, and some hugely valuable sites in London.
The idea of using the Duchy name to brand a line of foods began in 1992 by using organic cereals from Duchy farms to make a line of biscuits named “Duchy Originals” – thereby seeming to be consistent with Charles’s well publicized devotion to the purity of organic products.
However, along with the world economy, the business crashed in 2008, making a loss of £3.3 million ($4.26 million). Charles was bailed out by the Waitrose supermarket chain, which saw an opportunity to punch the brand back into life by making it like a combination of Whole Foods and a royal franchise—all Duchy products carry the Duchy’s coat of arms as their logo.
The Met had to give an explanation for why it stopped investigating allegations of sex trafficking against Jeffrey Epstein after a woman who claims she was forced to have sex with the Duke of York accused the police of corruption.
Virginia Giuffre is pictured in a now-notorious photo of Prince Andrew with his hand around her bare waist, with Epstein and the Duke’s ‘friend’ Ghislaine Maxwell in the background. Then a teenager, she claims to have had sex with the royal at least three times back in 2001.
Some 14 years later, she brought her story to the Metropolitan Police Service, only to see the probe dropped rather quickly. “At first the Scotland Yard told me they were going to forensically examine [Ghislaine Maxwell’s] house in London – next thing I hear, just like the FBI, they were not allowed to pursue the investigation. Corruption in the highelevels (sic) of gov,” Giuffre wrote on Twitter this week.
The Met confirmed on Thursday that they had indeed launched a probe, interviewed Guiffe, got advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, and decided the case was out of their jurisdiction to proceed with a full criminal investigation.
We therefore concluded that the MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) was not the appropriate authority to conduct enquiries in these circumstances.
“It was clear that any investigation into human trafficking would be largely focused on activities and relationships outside the UK,” Commander for Specialist Crime Alex Murray said, noting that Scotland Yard once again reviewed its position in 2019 and it remained unchanged.
Giuffre in the meantime doubled down on her accusations against Prince Andrew in the upcoming interview with the BBC, as the Duke of York faces a growing backlash following his own train-wreck interview with Newsnight about his friendship with the US financier.
He knows what happened, I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth.
Ghislaine Maxwell is at the center of the Epstein controversy, but she’s in hiding. The British socialite friend of Prince Andrew is accused of recruiting girls for the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking ring.
Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of crooked Jewish financier Robert Maxwell,
is accused of recruiting girls for Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
Prince Andrew’s recent interview about his relationship with the alleged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has sparked many questions but one stands out: what happened to Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite friend of the prince who is accused of procuring victims for the disgraced financier?
Prince Andrew, Duke of York, the Queen of England’s younger son, admitted ties to Maxwell and Epstein during the bombshell BBC Newsnight interview – while adamantly denying wrongdoing and expressing regret for continued association with Epstein.
Prince Andrew said he met Epstein through Maxwell, the daughter of late media baron Robert Maxwell. Ms Maxwell has vehemently denied allegations of wrongdoing but her current whereabouts are unknown, with media reports placing sightings of her in various cities in the US and Europe.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail in August, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges.
At the center of this controversy is Epstein’s accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims Maxwell recruited her to work as his masseuse when she was 15 years old. Giuffre has alleged that a sexual encounter took place with Andrew around 2001, when she was 17.
Giuffre claims Epstein flew her to London on his private jet. After dining with the prince and dancing with him at the Tramp nightclub, she claims, they had a sexual encounter in Maxwell’s Belgravia house.
Prince Andrew stands with Virginia Giuffre while Ghislaine Maxwell smiles in the background. Prince Andrew claims the photo is a fake and that he has no recollection of meeting Virginia.
Posing with his hand around the teen Giuffre was purportedly taken at Maxwell’s home – she is seen smiling in the background. Andrew said in the Newsnight interview he last had contact with Maxwell earlier this year, before Epstein’s arrest.
Multiple women in addition to Giuffre have alleged Maxwell enabled Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, either recruiting them directly or planning visits to his homes.
Yet Maxwell’s fate remains an almost complete mystery. She has not been charged. And while she presently faces civil litigation, the likelihood of a court appearance is unknown. Her last public appearance seems to have been at a Los Angeles fast-food restaurant in August, though doubts have been raised about the veracity of that sighting.
Multiple attorneys listed for Maxwell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Federal authorities have said the investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking is ongoing. But, officially, their comment is general and does not relate specifically to Maxwell or anyone else.
Legal opinions about whether Andrew could face legal trouble in the US are split and Maxwell’s potential role in any legal move against the prince is unclear – though she would probably be vital to such a ploy.
Mitchell Garabedian, the Boston lawyer who exposed Catholic clergy sex abuse, said in an email attorneys would want to locate Maxwell in the US, as courts here would have legal power to get her to testify.
“Certainly, given Ms Maxwell’s central role in the Epstein matter, what Ms Maxwell has to say as a witness about Prince Andrew’s involvement will greatly affect the opinions of countless others whether connected to law enforcement or otherwise,” Garabedian wrote.
Asked whether this meant Andrew was exposed to US legal liability, Garabedian said, “It depends on the facts.”
Paul Shechtman, a veteran criminal law attorney who teaches criminal procedure at Columbia University Law School, said that while pursuing a case against Maxwell probably appeals to the federal prosecutors who arrested Epstein, targeting Andrew might not.
“Everything points to the fact that she is a serious subject of the southern district [of New York]’s investigation and at the same time, and for a variety of reasons, I don’t think he is,” Shechtman said.
Authorities would have to prove Andrew knew someone was underage, Shechtman said, and “as a general matter, having sexual relations with someone who’s underage is a state crime and not a federal crime.
“I think his exposure for a federal prosecution is quite small indeed,” he said, adding. “I think he can continue to be a prince.”
Rebecca Roiphe, a professor of law at New York Law School and former assistant district attorney in Manhattan, said Andrew’s links to Maxwell meant he was caught up in the scandal, regardless of his links to Epstein. But that did not necessarily mean he would face charges.
“The mere fact that Prince Andrew was friends with Maxwell and she was allegedly involved in Epstein’s conduct does not itself prove Prince Andrew’s involvement,” she said in an email. “But it certainly raises questions that will affect publicity and in this particular case publicity is, on its own, quite powerful.”
Certainly Andrew’s Newsnight interview was a blow in the global courtroom of public opinion. But amid the fallout from such a catastrophic PR blunder, another uncomfortable fact emerged. With Epstein dead and Maxwell missing, Andrew has become the most public face of an ongoing investigation.
“Of course, if it’s proved that Andrew was involved with Maxwell and Epstein in the alleged criminal acts then he could face criminal liability,” Roiphe continued.
“Prosecutors are eager to hold someone responsible for Epstein’s alleged crimes. Maxwell is an obvious choice now that Epstein is dead but she is unavailable, which may mean that Prince Andrew is high on their list.”
Meanwhile, Epstein’s estate is facing numerous lawsuits from women who say he sexually abused them, many while they were underage. On Monday, a new lawsuit was filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe 15, who alleged that Epstein assaulted her at his New Mexico ranch when she was 15.
“Jane Doe was only 15 years old when Jeffrey Epstein preyed upon her, trafficked her and sexually abused her,” said the accuser’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, at a news conference. “She wants to speak her truth and encourage other underage victims of Jeffrey Epstein who have not yet asserted their legal rights.”
LD: Many big questions swirling round here. Firstly, is Prince Andrew guilty of all the sex charges laid against him?—that he had sex with numerous underage girls thanks to Epstein finding them for him—or is he as spotlessly innocent as he claims? Is a witch hunt being conducted against the prince, and, indirectly, at the Royal Family? Could some interested parties be plotting to bring the British monarchy to an end?
Secondly, did Epstein really commit suicide as claimed or was he strangled to death in his cell? Or is he alive and well in Israel? His death seems extremely suspicious as well as extremely convenient.
Thirdly, how come the Jewish procuress Ghislaine Maxwell has gone missing?—the one person who knows all the grisly secrets of the Epstein scandal and has an address book full of juicy names? Has she done a bunk to Israel? If not, where is she? and why is she in hiding? and is her life in danger?
Many other fascinating questions . . . we may never know the answers . . . interesting times. [LD]
(TMU) — Biographer for the Royal Family, Lady Colin Campbell, recently appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain where she defended Prince Andrew against claims of pedophilia.
In her defense of the disgraced prince, Campbell pointed to the “prostitution” charge that Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of in 2008, and attempted to downplay the fact that the girls were underage by suggesting that he was simply hiring sex workers.
“You all seem to have forgotten that Jeffrey Epstein, the offense for which he was charged and for which he was imprisoned, was for soliciting prostitution from minors. That is not the same thing as pedophilia,” Campbell told a shocked panel Monday morning.
Host Piers Morgan immediately challenged her claims, saying:
“If you solicited a 14-year-old for prostitution, you’re a pedophile.
You’re procuring an underage girl for sex. That’s what he was convicted of. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, with respect, that is nonsense.”
Campbell then immediately attempted to backpedal, claiming that a distinction must be made between a minor and a child.
“Was he? 14? Well, I’m not justifying Jeffrey Epstein. Pedophilia, I suspect there’s a difference between a minor and a child,” she said.
“A 14-year-old is a child. Legally, she’s a child,” Morgan replied.
Campbell then admitted that the prince may have “made many mistakes,” but insisted that his only mistake was being too clueless to realize that one of his closest friends was a predator.
“You can’t criticize someone because they aren’t as bright as you would like them to be,” she said.
The controversy surrounding Prince Andrew has grown since his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. In the interview, the prince gave a variety of bizarre excuses and defenses for the accusations against him, including a claim that he could not sweat due to a rare physical condition.
He also denied knowing about the trafficking victim, Virginia Giuffre—formerly known as Virginia Roberts—despite appearing in photos with her when she was under the age of 18. However, he has previously suggested that these photos are “doctored.” Photographic evidence has been uncovered showing that the prince does, in fact, sweat. He also claimed that even though he did not remember meeting the victim on the night that she said, he does vividly remember his alibi, saying he went to a Pizza Express in Woking before returning home that night.
“Going to Pizza Express in Woking is an unusual thing for me to do, a very unusual thing for me to do. I’ve never been… I’ve only been to Woking a couple of times and I remember it weirdly distinctly,” he said.
The interview was so disastrous for the Royal Family that one of Prince Andrew’s PR advisors quit in response to the broadcast. And to make matters even worse, a video clip from 1984 recently resurfaced showing Johnny Carson, then-host of The Tonight Show, making a joke about Prince Andrew being a pedophile.
A fully naked “Filipino looking child” was seen escaping from a window of the Buckingham Palace in the middle of the day, and only a few have noticed.
Is this conclusive proof that the UK Monarchy is guilty of pedophilia?
Our initial video analysis suggests that it has not been manipulated through the use of a CGI program, nor was it cut, or mishmashed using multiple videos from different scenes.
There have been multiple arrests of pedophiles of UK origins and from other countries in the Philippines. But to have something like this takes the issue to a whole new level.
“There wasn’t a part of my body that they did not abuse.”
(TMU) — Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a vocal Jeffrey Epstein accuser, just went to New York for a bombshell new interview.
During the interview for 60 Minutes Australia that took her to the steps of Epstein’s $56 million Manhattan mansion which she said represents “jail” to her, Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, insists Prince Andrew “should go to jail.”

Inside the international sex-trafficking ring masterminded by billionaire businessman Jeffrey Epstein. NEXT SUNDAY on #60Mins, how Epstein’s wicked world disintegrated and why his coterie of equally immoral friends should still be worried.
“Being a kid, I didn’t realize what world I was being brought into,” she explains. “There wasn’t a part of my body that they did not abuse.”
During the short promo for the piece that airs this Sunday, Giuffre says that she “was trafficked to other billionaires” and “to other politicians.”
“It was the elite of the world.”
David Boies, Giuffre’s attorney, says Epstein ran an “international sex trafficking operation,” referring to it as a “well-oiled machine.”
“There are many, many people that have serious culpability and I expect a number of them will be prosecuted.”
During the teaser posted on social media, Giuffre holds up the notorious photograph of Prince Andrew and herself (at the age of 17) together at a party thrown by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, saying “this is a real photo.” Without mincing words, Giuffre declares, “Prince Andrew should go to jail.”
Giuffre has previously alleged that she was forced to sleep with the Duke of York three times.
While Andrew cannot deny his relationship with the convicted pedophile, he continues to deny claims that he was involved in the sex trafficking ring or had any knowledge whatsoever that his friend was a criminal.
In a statement from August, Buckingham Palace said:
“His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behavior is abhorrent.”
“Only one of us is telling the truth. And it will come out,” Giuffre says.
“This is a real photo. That is Andrew,” Giuffre insists before host Tara Brown brings up past accusations that the image is fake.
In a 2011 testimony, Giuffre insisted that Prince Andrew “knows the truth” about the abuse of underage girls at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. However, in 2015 a court declared the allegations were “immaterial and impertinent,” ordering them to be struck out of a defamation claim against Maxwell.
Maxwell has been repeatedly accused of assisting Epstein in recruitment and abuse of girls trafficked into the elite pedophile ring, but has continued to deny any wrongdoing.
In an interview with NBC that aired in September, Giuffre said of Maxwell:
“The first time in London, I was so young. Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and she said, ‘You’re gonna meet a prince today.’ I didn’t know at that point that I was going to be trafficked to that prince.”
Guiffre went on to explain that later that night, after Prince Andrew gave her alcohol while together at a club, the teen found herself in a car “with Ghislaine and Jeffrey, and Ghislaine said, ‘He’s coming back to the house. And I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein.’ I couldn’t believe it.”
Also in September, John Mark Dougan, a former Florida cop claiming to have incriminating evidence of Prince Andrew, accused the FBI of covering up the Duke of York’s role in the massive scandal. Dougan, who is also a former Marine, told the Times of London:
“I’m certain the FBI is involved in some kind of cover-up over Epstein.
That could absolutely include Andrew’s role …”
Of the others connected to the elite pedophile ring Guiffre tells Brown during the brief promo:
“They should be named. And they should be shamed.”
“Our citizens should know the urgent facts…but they don’t because our media serves imperial, not popular interests. They lie, deceive, connive and suppress what everyone needs to know, substituting managed news misinformation and rubbish for hard truths…”—Oliver Stone
