The British royal family makes billions on landed properties
Through a web of companies, funds, foundations and classified documents, the British royal family has managed to hide their wealth and income streams from public view. That's what The Guardian writes in an audited survey.
The Windsor royal family is often described as one of Britain's richest. In addition to money from the state, large parts of the income come from renting out real estate and land. These properties have brought in £1 billion for the royal family over the past ten years, according to the newspaper.
The review also shows that large parts of the wealth are placed in tax havens.

Twitter labels NPR "state-affiliated media" - responds with poop emoji
Twitter has labeled the American public service company NPR as "state-affiliated media", reports TT.
The marking is used, among other things, for Russian and Chinese propaganda agencies. According to Twitter's policy, it is for media companies controlled by states either financially, politically or through production and distribution.
NPR strongly opposes the decision:
"NPR stands for freedom of expression and holding those in power accountable. It is unacceptable for Twitter to label us like this.”
When NPR reached out to Twitter's press department for an explanation, the company got an auto-reply with a poop emoji — something NPR claims Twitter has been sending to journalists for weeks.
