查理三世國王與威爾斯王子公開了他們的納稅金額，並改變了住宅的使用方式。

The King paid £12.9 million in tax. The Prince paid £7.76 million. They get this money from their own land. They will use £500 million to build 12,000 new homes by 2040.

國王納稅 1,290 萬英鎊。王子則納稅 776 萬英鎊。這些資金來自他們擁有的土地。他們將投入 5 億英鎊，在 2040 年前建造 12,000 棟新住宅。

The government gives the King money for his work. This is called the Sovereign Grant. It is £132.1 million this year. The money pays for official work and old buildings.

政府會撥款給國王以支應其職務，這被稱為「主權撥款」。今年的金額為 1.321 億英鎊。這筆資金用於支付官方工作及維護古蹟建築。

國王與卡米拉王后將居住在克拉倫斯宮，而不會住在白金漢宮。白金漢宮將轉為工作場所。現在，會有更多民眾可以參觀這座宮殿。

王室對財務問題變得更加透明，同時也改變了居住地點。

King Charles III and the Prince of Wales have revealed their personal tax payments for the first time. This move happens alongside changes to how royal residences are used and how the Sovereign Grant is managed.

查理斯三世國王與威爾斯親王首次公開其個人納稅金額。此舉與王室住所用途的變更以及主權撥款管理方式的調整同步進行。

The decision to share personal tax details is a major change from the past. King Charles III paid £12.9 million in tax for 2024-25, compared to £11.7 million the previous year. Similarly, the Prince of Wales paid £7.76 million and £8.34 million over the same two periods. This money comes from private assets, such as the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall. Furthermore, the Duchy of Cornwall is investing £500 million over ten years into housing and the environment, with a goal to build 12,000 homes by 2040.

決定公開個人稅務詳情是一次重大的改變。查理斯三世國王在 2024-25 年度繳納了 1,290 萬英鎊的稅款，而前一年為 1,170 萬英鎊。同樣地，威爾斯親王在同一兩個時期內分別繳納了 776 萬英鎊與 834 萬英鎊。這些資金來自私人資產，例如蘭開斯特公國與康沃爾公國。此外，康沃爾公國將在十年內向住房與環境投資 5 億英鎊，目標是在 2040 年前興建 12,000 棟住宅。

Official funding is provided by the Sovereign Grant, which was £132.1 million this year. This amount will rise to £137.9 million by 2026-27 to finish the £369 million renovation of Buckingham Palace, but it will then drop to £99.9 million between 2027 and 2032. This grant covers official duties and building maintenance rather than personal salaries. Meanwhile, the Crown Estate reported a profit of £1.2 billion, mainly due to the growth of offshore wind farms, and returned £487 million to the government.

官方資金由主權撥款提供，今年金額為 1.321 億英鎊。為了完成 3.69 億英鎊的白金漢宮翻新工程，該金額將在 2026-27 年增加至 1.379 億英鎊，但隨後在 2027 年至 2032 年間將降至 9,990 萬英鎊。此撥款用於支付官方職務與建築維護，而非個人薪資。同時，皇室領地報告獲利 12 億英鎊，主要歸功於離岸風電場的增長，並向政府回饋了 4.87 億英鎊。

At the same time, there are changes to where the royals live. Once the palace renovations are finished, King Charles and Queen Camilla will continue to live mainly at Clarence House. Consequently, Buckingham Palace will become a professional workplace, which will allow more members of the public to visit. This is the first time since Queen Victoria that a monarch has chosen not to live primarily in the palace.

與此同時，王室成員的居住地點也有所變動。一旦宮殿翻新完成，查理斯國王與卡米拉王后將繼續主要居住在克拉倫斯府。因此，白金漢宮將成為一個專業的工作場所，這將允許更多民眾參觀。這是自維多利亞女王以來，首次有君主選擇不以宮殿為主要居所。

The monarchy is moving toward a model of greater financial openness and lower living costs, while the Crown Estate continues to profit from renewable energy.

王室正向財務更加透明、生活成本更低的模式邁進，而皇室領地則繼續從再生能源中獲利。

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。
