[QUOTE="Whyayeman, post: 77670285, member: 415320"] I don't dispute any of that. The Sovereign Grant is no different from the old Civil List except for the little detail of it being revised (upwards) every year whereas the Civil List was fixed for the lifetime of the Sovereign. And while the Duchy of Cornwall's revenues are tax exempt (like all Royal Income) the previous Duke, now King voluntarily made a contribution as described. As King, however, Charles pays no taxes at all. His immense wealth is not the same thing as the Crown Estate; his private wealth is unknown. Wills in this country are normally public documents but nobody can see the late Queen's. But I agree that the Royal finances are irrelevant to the republican argument which is very similar to republicanism everywhere. [/QUOTE]
