That's a weird start to the New Year. I don't think you (or the
petitioner,
for that matter) understand the proposition. The Duchy of Cornwall, a
private estate which funds the public, charitable and private activities
of
The Prince of Wales and his family, owns land in 22 counties and only part
of the estate is actually in Cornwall. It was created by Edward III to
provide his son and future Princes of Wales with an income from its
assets.
