PUBLIC money earmarked for removing asbestos from Buckingham Palace should be diverted to de-toxifying schools, campaigners urged yesterday.

The royal household is mooting the idea of Elizabeth Windsor leaving Buckingham Palace for a number of months so “essential” refurbishment work costing the taxpayer a whopping £150 million can take place — a move dubbed a “Rexit.”

This will include the removal of asbestos, exposure to which can cause the development of the cancer mesothelioma decades after the fact.
