In his irreverent and uncompromising bestseller
... And What Do You Do?, former Minister of State and Privy Counsellor Norman
Baker laid bare what the British royal family didn't want us to know, namely its
extravagant use of public money and general bad behaviour.
This sensational sequel goes even deeper in
its analysis of royal finances, examining where the money comes from, how it is
used and what has changed with the arrival of a new king.
Amongst many other things, it reveals how a
family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 is now one of the richest in the
country; how they lobby governments and the media to maximise their profits
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 public bodies including the NHS, churches and charities, who
are charged punitive rates for the use of Duchy-controlled land, this eye-opening
expose also includes a chapter on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his
money-making endeavours, including his friendships with convicted fraudsters,
paedophiles and spies.
Pulling no punches, this is the book the
royal family really don't want you to read.
