Prince Charles has published the fullest account yet on how much he spends - £14m a year, and how much tax he pays - 23 per cent.
Given the top rate is 40 per cent, he seems to be getting off lightly but this news is balanced by the revelation that he raises by his own estimates over £100m a year for charity.
Meanwhile, The Prince of Wales, his wife, Camilla, and sons, Princes William and Harry, cost every man, woman and child in the country 3.5p a year.
