Today, King Charles has become the first monarch ever to reveal their tax bill: 拢12.9 million.
The King has broken royal precedent by publishing some of his finances, revealing that he is in the top 100 of UK taxpayers. But we still don鈥檛 know much about his income, or how this tax bill was calculated. The accounts also show that the main source of annual public funding for the Royals will nearly double within three years. Adam speaks to Senior Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph.
He鈥檚 also joined by Ailbhe Rea, Political editor of the New Statesman, and Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor of the House Magazine, to discuss the week in Westminster.
