Prince Edward's Zoo Visit vs. Royal Stables Rental

0:00It's March 22nd. This is entertainment and celebrity news, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. Prince Edward visited Bristol Zoo this week to mark the opening of its new African-Forest habitat. As patron of the Bristol Zoological Society, he toured behind the scene's areas and helped prepare lunch for the critically endangered Western lowland. Gorillus, the zoo houses other vulnerable species too, like gray parrots and rare West African freshwater fish, focusing on education and conservation efforts. In the UK, meanwhile, reports surfaced about the duke and duchess of Edinburgh, earning up to 130,000 pounds a year from subletting converted. Stables on their backshot park estate. The couple leases the 51 acre property worth around 30 million pounds under very favorable terms from the Crown of State. Critics slammed the setup as unfair to taxpayers, arguing their rental income from Crown of Stateland, should flow back to public funds through the treasury.

1:02One former minister called it outrageous, especially given the low rent the royals already pay. The Stables form a two-story gray-too-listed building with over 6,000 square feet of modern office space, including meeting rooms, kitchens, and parking for 30 cars near the M3 motorway. Past tenants included companies and Prince Edward's old production firm. A royal source says the office is set empty now, with no tenants since last October, as the Crown of State states silent on the matter. These stories show the blend of rural charity work and property dealings making headlines.
