King Charles of Great Britain has sparked outrage and made one of the great unforced errors of recent UK history.

After hosting an Iftar at Windsor Castle last year and delivering messages for the Muslim holidays of Eid and Ramadan this year, he refused to offer an Easter message.

The decision is striking.

As King, Charles is head of the Christian Church of England, and his country is deeply polarized amid rising extremism, as well as reports of the government's years-long institutional failure to

investigate and prosecute sexual abuse of young girls by Islamist gangs.

The modern monarchy wields no political power. It exists only to provide a national symbol of

unity, stability, and continuity. If it no longer serves that purpose, the taxpayers who subsidize

it are justified in asking, what exactly is it for?

Here's something most people don't know.

When Warren Buffett was just 13 years old, he didn't put his money into a savings account.

While other kids were earning next to nothing at local banks, Buffett put $114 into a little-known

investment. Today, that $114 would be worth over $15 million. And it wasn't a risky trade,

it wasn't even insider knowledge. It was an account that's been around since 1888, and over

the last 25 years, it's average 29% a year. That's what happens

when your money is allowed to compound. Compare that to today's savings accounts, paying

less than half a percent, while inflation quietly eats away at your buying power. Buffett understood

early. Banks are great businesses, just not for savers. If you'd like to see what some investors call the 29% account, go now to secret account 29.com. That's secret account the numbers 29.com. Secret account 29.com.
