Original Note:
The UK Royal Family's sovereign grant is a percentage of the Crown Estate's income, which is all paid to the Government (the treasury). The income was a record (£442m) last year, hence the increase. The King also pays tax to government on all other private incomes. https://fullfact.org/economy/royal-family-what-are-costs-and-benefits/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1220546/crown-estate-revenue-uk/#:~:text=In%202022%2F22%20the%20revenue,by%20an%20independent%20public%20body.
