What about revenue generated from Waitrose Duchy Organic and other Crown owned but Private enterprises[0]? Not combative but actually curious, but I'd prefer an actual legal opinion on this, not some online commentator to be honest.

Well I'm not qualified to give 'an actual legal opinion', so this is the best I can do: https://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/what-duchy-originals-it-any...

To stray back into 'some online commentator' though, I believe that may be outdated: I think it's now wholly Waitrose, just a brand. (Notice there's no Essentials/Cooks Ingredients organic brand/products - if it's organic it's Duchy Organic.)

Interesting. I've also been trying to find if royals other than the now deceased Queen have volunteered to income tax and capital gains tax, but I cannot find clear information on this (which is unsurprisng).
