TV DOCUMENTARY: Charles: The Meddling Prince (Channel Four - 2007) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Joanne Leyland   
Monday, 12 March 2007


"In contrast to how outspoken Charles is in relation to his political beliefs, there is concern that too little is known about his financial affairs. We investigate the management of the Duchy of Cornwall, the vast private estate which provides his main income."

"According to his accounts, the Duchy paid the Prince a massive £14m last year alone. Dispatches has obtained documents which uncover the huge financial savings the Duchy makes, thanks to its unique ability to avoid avoid paying direct tax."

"We also report concerns about the Duchy's lack of financial transparency and complaints about the way some of its tenants are treated."



"And while Charles is actively promoting his causes, there is concern that he doesn't always practice what he preaches. Dispatches examines claims that his extravagant lifestyle is often at odds with the principles he espouses and expects of others and questions whether his work as a public figure actually provides good value for money."
