The Duke of Kent’s family sell silver!
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
Now you don’t expect to be reading about the Dukes family selling off their goods to the highest bidders at auctions. It has caused quite a stir with people asking are they really entitled to be doing such a thing? Seeing as most of the stuff they are selling was given to them as presents.
I can’t help but think they are just taking advantage of the increase in the price of silver and gold in recent months. In my opinion it just seems like a good business decision. Why not sell silver? – Its not like they are keeping all the money for themselves – they are donating it to charity, so whats the problem? Jealousy?
It clearly has echoes of the Fawcett case, where he took 20 per cent of the proceeds of sales of unwanted royal gifts and caused a big scandal. For more info, check this article on the Daily Mail site.
