KING Charles has been allowed to vet emergency legislation to freeze rents in Scotland because it could affect tenants on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.
A bill to stop landlords raising rent prices for the next six months is making its way through Holyrood this week.
It comes after rules were changed at Holyrood last year following a Guardian investigation into the monarch's power to influence UK laws, under rules known in Scotland as Crown Consent.
