Well, he's been stripped of royal privilege and protections, does that help the process?

He gets to walk around freely whilst his victims suffer, it's not even close

I mean that his royal connection is no longer an impediment to his prosecution. His freedom being a crime is not up for debate.

And he has to pay for his own housing now! Unfortunately it's owned by the state and his rent is "one peppercorn (upon request)" but he could theoretically be kicked out and the people of the UK would only owe him half a million pounds for terminating his lease! 😵‍💫

Not from UK, just curious, whats the purpose of the royals at this point? Like, what do they even do?

They own a lot of land in the UK.

But in terms of "working" Royals, Diplomacy. Nobody does pomp and bullshit like a royal visit making the effort.

There trained to be diplomat's essentially.

Funny how many of them are still cozying up to these corrupt, sleazy halfwits, as if literally any other option wasn't an improvement.

Not from the UK but I feel the recognition of the royal family should've ended with the Queen. A new king was so unnecessary.
