It's the profits from the deal, not $1.2B in total. Smh
For those who don't understand how the UK crown gets its money:
They own lots of land and make money from rent, farms, and now windfarms. All that money goes to the government, and the government gives the royal an annual sum.
This is a good deal for the government who get a profitable deal for eternity in exchange for paying all the royal's debts one time a few hundred years back.
The crown is going to make more money now by having wind farms on their land. That goes to the government as usual, normally they'd get some back, the king has requested he does not. >

It's a huge property portfolio in addition to farmland. In fact they're suing Twitter for being behind on the rent for their London HQ.
It's also worth noting that the proportion of the fund's profits going to the royals recently increased in order to pay for the renovation of Buckingham Palace. >

It makes sense for funds to be used for Buckingham Palace. It's a in 
 a very bad state of repair right now.
As an example for the Queens Platinum Jubilee theres a pre-recorded scene where she's having tea with Paddington Bear in the east wing, overlooking the balcony.
That was in fact shot at Windsor with a bit of cgi used as that area of Buckingham Palace is a building site and has been for about 4 years now.
To get to the balcony they had to litterally walk through a building site and make it look as presentable as possible around the doorway. >

Yeah right. Next thing you’re gonna tell me Paddington was CGI too >

Would you believe a highly trained Corgi? >

Yes. Yes, I would. >

In fact, I do, sir. >

It is I, King of UK. >

Ruler over these glands >

Well, he's very progressive compared to his predecessors. >

Headline should read: "King Charles donates his only fans income" >

This is the kind of comedy writing I can get behind. >


UK’s king

He’s one of the most well known people on Earth.  What an odd choice to not just call him King Charles. >

Most of the world (including the UK) is still getting used to there not being a queen anymore. The media can't seem to decide whether to call him King Charles, the King of Britain, the King of the UK or just The King. >

He's also the King of Canada (for now) along with a number of other notable (New Zealand) and unnotable (Australia) countries.
​
​
That's right Australia. Come get me. >

Emus are Australian. You’re on notice. >

Emus sided against Australia. I think I'll be fine. >

Emus sided against the newly federated states in 1932. They were Australian long before the colonials arrived…. >

They were of the continent. "Australia" did not exist, any more than separate bordering countries on the continent exist now. At least as the human UN is concerned. International Bird Law has a different view of the matter. >

"Hello there my friend, am King of UK actually.
If you could please transfer $1,200,000,000 into this account, it will be a very good investment for you.
Bitcoin is okay." >

Or iTunes gift cards >

With that much of his money going to the people, it's like he pays way more in "taxes" (I know he doesn't pay taxes but you get the idea) than many companies who routinely evade paying them. 
If all you can think of is casting him down for this just because he's royalty, you have tunnel vision or you wilfully ignore the problem. He's not the one withholding the UK's money and pressing down on the working-class people's neck. >

God Save the King!
