King Charles’s tax bill: what did we learn, and what is still in the dark?

King Charles has revealed he paid £24.6m in tax over the last two years, marking a notable step towards transparency in the monarchy. Despite this disclosure, his exact wealth remains a mystery, as does the full financial picture of the Crown estate, which continues to report substantial profits. The decision for the King and Queen not to reside in Buckingham Palace post-refit further adds to the intrigue surrounding royal finances. This move has been celebrated as a step towards greater openness but raises questions about the monarchy's overall financial practices and transparency.
