Описание: The Duchy of Cornwall enjoys various rights, powers and privileges that Republic believes are completely unacceptable and unjustified. Right to Veto Legislation Public Immunity Bona Vacantia Treasure Trove and Ancient Monuments Right to Commit Certain Crimes without Punishment Exemption from Leasehold Rights Compulsory Purchases and AONB Immunity from Certain Infrastructure Laws Immunity from Planning Law Extended Limitation Periods Right to Practice as an Unqualified Lawyer Exclusion from Freedom of Information Regulations In the past supporters of the monarchy have claimed any powers the Duchy has are ancient and largely symbolic. Yet these are very real powers and privileges, granted to the Duchy in recent years and decades. Collectively these legal exemptions and unique rights establish the Duchy as an autonomous fiefdom within the United Kingdom, a commercial operation and landowner that is a law unto itself. www.republic.org.uk/the_duchy_s_powers_and_privileges The principal activity of the Duchy of Cornwall is the management of its land totalling 135,000 acres or 550 km^2 in England. This includes just over 2% of the county of Cornwall. The majority of the estate lies elsewhere, with half being on Dartmoor in Devon, with other large holdings in Cornwall, Herefordshire, Somerset and almost all of the Isles of Scilly. Another large portion of its holdings are strips of foreshore and riverbed along the Cornish and Devon coasts. The duchy also has a financial investments portfolio. The current duke of Cornwall is William, Prince of Wales. For the fiscal year ending 31 March 2020, the duchy was valued at lb909 million, and annual profit was lb22.3 million, a revenue surplus gain of 2.9% from the previous year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchies_in_England Coat of arms of the Duchy of Cornwall by Sodacan on Wikimedia Commons w.wiki/9Ahd
