It seems that the tissue of lies woven by the Duchy of Cornwall, and the various UK governments that have conspired with it over the years, is starting to unravel. For years now, contrary to the research we have undertaken, Cornish campaigners have been told by the Duchy and successive governments that the Duchy of Cornwall is simply a private estate, a collection of properties, and not a public body.

Perhaps the first nail in the coffin of this lie has been nailed home: Letters: Prince Charles's secret fiefdom | UK news | The Guardian

Tribunal judge says Duchy of Cornwall is a public authority, not a private estate

Over the years, on many a forum, I've encountered those who have been quick to claim the Duchy is but a private estate. To all those sock puppets, trolls and stooges - some in the pocket of the Duchy/establishment, and some, no doubt, simply gullible - well I think you can imagine what I'd like to say to you all ;-)

Part 1 of an expose from Cornish historian John Angarrak: Laws surrounding Duchy of Cornwall seen as 'mysterious, complex and arcane' | This is Cornwall

Recent media disclosures concerning the little-known rights and powers of the Duke of Cornwall only touch the surface of this secretive constitutional arrangement. While it has been correctly stated that the Duke has the right to veto Westminster legislation, there is more to this than meets the eye.

The fact that he has this right is a reflection of Parliament's inability to freely legislate in respect of the Duchy of Cornwall. In essence, the Duchy of Cornwall is, in many respects, extra-jurisdictional to the UK Parliament.

Barrister David Gollancz writes: "The Duchy exercises a unique range of legal powers, which elsewhere are reserved for the Crown (in other words, the Government)."

This remarkable situation stems not just from the formal elevation of Cornwall into a duchy in 1337/38, but also from a time much earlier.

As I've said. Those that want radical democratic reform need to know where the week spots are and when to apply pressure.

Last weekend saw two brilliant essays by John Angarrack on the Duchy and Cornwall’s constitutional status appear in the Western Morning News of all places! Read them here:

Laws surrounding Duchy of Cornwall seen as 'mysterious, complex and arcane' | This is Cornwall

It's time to challenge 'private estate' claims | This is Cornwall

At the end of the last essay Angarrack has the following to say:

Formal acceptance and recognition of Cornwall's constitutional status is long overdue. After slowly unmasking the long-held "private estate" charade, researchers are piecing together an evidence-based argument that Cornwall Council could rely upon to investigate the possibility of taking legal action, clarifying and stabilising the constitutional position of Cornwall and transferring appropriate Duchy powers, income and status to Cornwall's elected body. Given the prize, this should be a priority.
