Could you elaborate Gonz?
Are you suggesting that no-one in Duchy of Cornwall holdings pays Prince Charles rent?

Or maybe he just pretends they don't to justify his £15 million per year tax avoidance.

Is that not, frankly, an utterly specious argument?
Well let me tell you that it is - it's one I've heard before and the point is that although rental income is collected it is "Crown Revenue" - ie. not subject to tax or scrutiny.

It's also rather telling that the clip is preceeded by an advert aimed at middle-class over 50's - probably the only demographic containing a pro-monarchy majority.

I donno, I think it makes sense to me, I don't really know how to argue against it...
... except perhaps mentioning inhertance tax, but even then, it wouldn't really count on account of the queen's age meaning 40% or whatever it was back when her father died, but Charles would lose out on that account.

You don't get to choose your adverts on YouTube, they're generated automaticly (for non-pro youtube accounts, such as that... which cost about £25kpa I think, not sure were I got that figure from) based on what you've been browsing and what you're watching at the time.

Again, Crown Revenue.
The royal family won't be troubling themselves with inheritance tax.
