New revelations show the Prince of Wales pays up to £7m a year in income tax, based on around the more than £20m in annual income from the Duchy of Cornwall, which he inherited when his father became King.
The figure puts Prince William firmly among the UK’s highest earners.
Musicians such as Adele, Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles, along with top Premier League footballers, can pay tax bills in the range of around £5m to £15m in strong earning years.
Most successful actors, television personalities and UK-based entertainers typically pay significantly less – often between £1m and £5m – depending on the scale and consistency of their earnings.
At the very top of the scale, however, sit hedge fund managers and gambling industry founders, who can pay anywhere from tens of millions to several hundred million pounds in tax in a single year.
