LONDON, Feb 11 (Alliance News): Amid recent allegations regarding financial earnings from royal estates, King Charles III has taken a bold step by showcasing his commitment to sustainability.
The monarch, alongside Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, visited Nansledan, a sustainable housing project in Cornwall, in a rare joint appearance.
The move comes after an investigation claimed that both King Charles and Prince William generate millions in income from contracts linked to their royal estates, including deals with charities and public services.
These allegations, originally made in November last year, have reignited scrutiny over royal finances.
During the visit, the trio toured Newquay Orchard, an initiative promoting vocational learning, education, and community engagement.
The royal estate’s official statement highlighted the project’s impact, stating that in 2024 alone, it produced 6.8 tonnes of food for the local community.
The King, a longtime environmental advocate, originally spearheaded the development of Nansledan while he was the Duke of Cornwall.
His son, Prince William, now holds the title and oversees the Duchy of Cornwall. The visit also included a stop at Nansledan School, built by the Duchy and officially inaugurated by King Charles in 2020.
