Friday, 26 Jun 2026 9:11 AM MYT 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. But when Charles succeeded his mother to the throne upon her death in 2022, he inherited a large, undisclosed personal fortune that added to the immense wealth he had already accumulated.
Furthermore, Over half of the grant, some 67.5 million pounds, was allocated to preserving and protecting the occupied royal palaces, the palace said. The annual government payment to cover the costs of official royal duties and palaces had been increased by over half in 2025-2026 to £132.1 million to cover renovation costs for Buckingham Palace and other royal buildings. But he has broken with custom by continuing that as king -- his mother and predecessor Queen Elizabeth II never did during her record-breaking seven-decade reign.
