LONDON, June 26 — King Charles III has paid more than £30 million ($39.6 million) in personal taxes since becoming monarch in September 2022, Buckingham Palace said yesterday, in the first such disclosure by a reigning British sovereign.
“The amount of tax payable by His Majesty since Accession is more than £30 million,” the palace said, adding that the landmark disclosure was “part of the Royal Household’s commitment to transparency” as its finances come under increasing public scrutiny.
Charles’s eldest son and heir Prince William also for the first time revealed his personal tax information, having paid more than £20 million in taxes since inheriting the title of Prince of Wales when his father became king. — AFP
