  Is it tax money, or money he was paid then he is paying out?

  I mean its a technical difference and I am not really defending anything, I just don’t know how it works really.

    The King owns land called the crown estate. He surrenders the profit to the treasury who then pays him back a small fraction of, which he also pays tax on.

    The King does not get funded by tax money, just a small portion of what his family’s land makes.

      Well he shouldn’t.

        Such a proposition is unrealistic. It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.
