King Charles has become the first monarch to publicly share his tax bill, revealing that he has paid more than £30 million in tax since coming to the throne.

But the move has been labelled by critics a “deliberate distraction” from the terrible PR damage done to the Royal Family by his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The King and Queen Camilla will no longer use Buckingham Palace as their “personal residence” and will live permanently at Clarence House, the royal household’s latest annual report also revealed.
