Caribbean?
This is so disingenuous clickbait crap, that is quite unimaginable. That the Queen is invested in British territories goes without say. That someone would suggest that the Crown takes advantage of its own British territories maliciously goes a bit far. This is bad trolling of the kind that sticks which is what is malicious.
Independent wrote:Millions of pounds of the Queen's private money is invested in offshore funds in Caribbean tax havens, a huge leak of financial documents referred to as the "Paradise Papers" has revealed.
The papers show that the Duchy of Lancaster, which manages investments for the Queen's £520m private estate, reportedly invested around £10m in funds in based in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
They also show that the monarch holds investments, via funds, in businesses including off license chain Threshers and BrightHouse, which has been accused of exploiting people with mental health problems and learning disabilities in order to sell its products.
There is no suggestion that the funds are illegal.
The 13.4 million documents, which have been dubbed the Paradise Papers, lay bare how thousands of rich and powerful individuals invested vast sums of money in murky offshore structures.
They reveal that Donald Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, owns a stake in a firm linked to Russian businessmen who are the subject of US sanctions.
The papers were obtained by German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and are being analysed by 100 media organisations across the world.
The papers come from the company registries of 19 tax havens, and two offshore service providers.
They were released less than two years after the leak of the Panama Papers cause shockwaves by exposing how dozens of well-known figures were hiding wealth in offshore funds.
Lord Ashcroft, the Conservative peer and a major donor to the party, was also named in the papers.
