Part of the compact involved the UK Parliament fabricating, and then maintaining, an elaborate hoax that would recast the Duchy of Cornwall as a commercial organisation, portray the Duchy of Cornwall Crown dependency government as a ‘management board’, and the duke as Head of State of a ‘private estate’. Those in Parliament, the administration, the education system and the press who go along with the fraud and deception are rewarded with honours, favours, positions, career progress and other forms of preferment.
As this system of ‘cash for deception’ serves the majority interest, and harms only the interest of a small and vulnerable minority who are, in any event, prevented from knowing the facts of the matter, nobody in authority questions the situation. The motive for the ongoing crime is to keep the duke and his [now deliberately obscured] duchy outside of the laws of England and Wales, and by doing so maintain for him the numerous legal privileges and trappings of being Head of State of a separate country; but move the administration of his territorial possession, and his subjects, into England’s jurisdiction. In other words, circumvent existing law by stealth. This is the situation as it stands today.
