King Charles III Publishes Personal Tax Bill, Reveals £24.6M Paid, Pledges Cost Cuts, Transparency

King Charles III publishes his personal tax payments, saying he paid £24.6M over the last two years and framing the move as a Palace transparency push.The filings show £12.9M for the most recent fiscal year and £11.7M for the prior year, list Duchy of Lancaster income of £25.2M and report the Duchy of Cornwall made £22.9M profit.Buckingham Palace says the disclosure responds to criticism after damaging revelations about Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and follows Charles's pledge to cut monarchy costs since his accession in September 2022.Critics say key items remain opaque, including estate incomes, payments to working family members and 33 royal wills that remain confidential, and lawmakers seek clearer rules.
