Princess Anne Opposes Inheritance Tax Rules Impacting Her Estate

Princess Anne has expressed discontent with the new inheritance tax rules that jeopardize her 730-acre Gatcombe Park estate. While Labour's policy impacts her properties, other prominent farmers, including King Charles and Prince William, remain exempt due to a John Major ruling from when the monarchy began paying taxes. This ruling allows them to retain their estates without the financial burdens affecting Anne. Anne's daughter, Zara, still resides at Gatcombe Park, stating the estate's operational viability is crucial for their continued presence there. As tensions rise regarding inheritance tax policies, speculation grows about potential protests among farmers, similar to past demonstrations against hunting bans. These developments prompt the question of how they may affect both royal family members and their ties to rural farming communities.
