Prince William is facing backlash after reports emerged that several of his rental properties do not meet the minimum legal energy efficiency standards for landlords. According to the Mirror and Channel 4, tenants living in these properties are at risk of fuel poverty, with homes that are difficult to heat and plagued by damp and black mold.
This revelation comes at a time when U.K. taxpayers are footing the bill for a $478 million renovation of Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, Prince William has been championing a campaign against homelessness and advocating for everyone to have a right to a safe and stable home.
One disgruntled tenant spoke out, criticizing the Prince for his apparent hypocrisy: “The slick PR will stick in the throat of many tenants. He should start by bringing the homes he already owns up to modern standards.”
It is clear that there is a stark contrast between Prince William’s public image and the reality of the living conditions in some of his rental properties. As the future King of England, he has a responsibility to ensure that all of his tenants are living in safe and comfortable homes.
