King Charles III and the Prince of Wales have disclosed their personal tax contributions for the first time, coinciding with a restructuring of royal residential usage and the Sovereign Grant.

英王查理三世與威爾斯親王首次公開其個人繳納的稅款，同時對王室住宅用途與君主撥款金進行重組。

The disclosure of personal tax liabilities represents a significant departure from historical precedent. King Charles III reported a tax payment of £12.9 million for the 2024-25 period, following a payment of £11.7 million in the preceding year. Similarly, the Prince of Wales disclosed payments of £7.76 million and £8.34 million for the same respective periods. These obligations are derived from private assets, including the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall. The latter is currently allocating £500 million over a decade toward housing and environmental initiatives, including a specific commitment to add 12,000 homes by 2040 and the redirection of £1.5 million in annual rent from the defunct Dartmoor Prison to local community support.

公開個人納稅義務代表了對歷史慣例的重大突破。英王查理三世報告 2024-25 期間繳納稅款 1,290 萬英鎊，前一年為 1,170 萬英鎊。同樣地，威爾斯親王在相同期間分別繳納了 776 萬與 834 萬英鎊。這些義務源於私人資產，包括蘭開斯特公國與康沃爾公國。後者目前正計劃在十年內撥款 5 億英鎊用於住宅與環境倡議，包括承諾在 2040 年前增加 12,000 戶住宅，並將已廢除的達特穆爾監獄每年 150 萬英鎊的租金轉向用於當地社區支持。

Institutional funding is managed via the Sovereign Grant, which reached £132.1 million this year. While the grant is projected to peak at £137.9 million in 2026-27 to finalize the £369 million renovation of Buckingham Palace, it is scheduled to be reduced to a baseline of £99.9 million between 2027 and 2032. This funding is designated for official duties and the maintenance of historic estates rather than personal remuneration. The Crown Estate, which facilitates this grant, reported a profit of £1.2 billion, largely attributed to the expansion of the offshore wind sector, with £487 million returned to the Treasury.

機構資金透過君主撥款金管理，今年達到 1.321 億英鎊。雖然該撥款預計在 2026-27 年達到 1.379 億英鎊的峰值，以完成白金漢宮 3.69 億英鎊的翻修工程，但計畫在 2027 年至 2032 年間降低至 9,990 萬英鎊的基準線。此資金指定用於官方職務及歷史遺產的維護，而非個人報酬。提供此撥款的王室領地報告利潤為 12 億英鎊，主因是離岸風電部門的擴張，其中 4.87 億英鎊已歸還國庫。

Concurrent with these financial shifts is a strategic alteration in residential occupancy. Upon the completion of the palace renovations, the King and Queen Camilla will maintain their primary residence at Clarence House. This decision facilitates the transition of Buckingham Palace into a primary professional hub and increases public accessibility to the site. This represents the first instance since the reign of Queen Victoria that a monarch has opted to reside primarily outside of the palace.

與這些財務變動同步的是住宅入住的戰略調整。在宮殿翻修完成後，英王與卡米拉王后將維持以克拉倫斯府作為主要居所。此決定有助於將白金漢宮轉型為主要專業中心，並增加公眾進入該地的機會。這是自維多利亞女王在位以來，首次有君主選擇主要居住在宮殿之外。

The monarchy has transitioned toward a model of increased fiscal transparency and reduced residential overhead, while the Crown Estate continues to capitalize on renewable energy infrastructure.

王室已轉向一個財政透明度提高且住宅開支減少的模式，而王室領地則繼續從再生能源基礎設施中獲利。
