A close assistant of the monarch revealed that King Charles demonstrated a “remarkable resilience” while continuing to receive treatment after receiving a cancer diagnosis last year.
This was said by James Chalmers, who as a guardian of the private handbag is the king’s treasurer.
THE AFP Cité Chalmers congratulating King Charles “Resilience”.
He says that the king “has demonstrated remarkable resilience by undertaking a wide program of public and state tasks at home and abroad while continuing to receive treatment”.
Chalmers made these remarks after the financial report of the monarch.
The report also reveals that the sovereign subsidy, which pays for royal rights and the maintenance of palaces, remained at 86.3 million pounds sterling ($ 118.5 million) during the financial year ending in March 2025.
Next year, the subsidy will increase to 132 million pounds sterling.
Last year, a British media investigation sparked anger after revealing that the royal household areas took advantage of the public health service, charitable organizations and individual tenants while benefiting from large tax exemptions.
The financial report also indicates that King Charles should end the use by the British monarch of a royal train for the first time since the Victorian era in the 19th century, as part of the cost of cost reduction and modernization plans.
As part of the annual finances of the royal family revealed late Monday, the king’s treasurer announced that he had approved the use of two helicopters to transport the royal household and tilt the train due to high costs.
