Prince William Faces Likely Tax Bill
A Sunday Times investigation revealed Prince William pays up to £7 million in annual income tax. This amount places the future king in the highest 0.02% of UK taxpayers. The tax payments stem from nearly £20 million in income from the Duchy of Cornwall. The disclosure follows increased pressure for transparency regarding the royal family's property holdings. The prince has previously defended his financial privacy, according to the report. This puts him in the highest 0.002% of UK taxpayers.
