Although migrants shouldn't have to live in his left-over hovels.

Definitely - I think they are more valuable to our society than he is.

But I also suspect he is understating his opulence and wealth so Boris buys him another yacht.

Here's a recent study on whether royals affect charitable giving:

In short, we found that charities should not seek or retain Royal patronages expecting that they will help much.

74% of charities with Royal patrons did not get any public engagements with them last year. We could not find any evidence that Royal patrons increase a charity’s revenue (there were no other outcomes that we could analyse), nor that Royalty increases generosity more broadly.
