What is King Charles's net worth?▲ £640 million£610 million in 2024
The magnitude of the King's wealth continues to divide opinion. Some commentators insist that Charles III is a billionaire, arguing that the Duchy of Lancaster and even the Crown Estate are his personal assets.
We disagree. Both these estates come with the job as sovereign and there are rules circumscribing a monarch's ability to sell or profit from them. To consider these the King's personal holdings would be akin to an executive viewing the office laptop or the company car parked on their driveway as their own.

Tariffs: US-China talks end with plan for Trump and Xi to approve

The US and China say they have agreed in principle to a framework for de-escalating trade tensions between the world's two biggest Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the deal should result in restrictions on rare earths and magnets being sides said they would now take the plan to their country's presidents - Donald Trump and Xi Jinping - for announcement came after two days of negotiations in London between top officials from Beijing and Washington. Chinese exports of rare earth minerals, which are crucial for modern technology, were high on the agenda of the month, Washington and Beijing agreed a temporary truce over trade tariffs but each country has since accused the other of breaching the deal."We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus," Lutnick told reporters."Once the presidents approve it, we will then seek to implement it," he added."The two sides have, in principle, reached a framework for implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state during the phone call on June 5th and the consensus reached at the Geneva meeting," Li said.

Starmer and Reynolds meet US commerce secretary in push to implement trade deal

The Prime Minister dropped in on a meeting between Howard Lutnick and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds in Downing Street on Tuesday. Mr Lutnick was in London for talks with China on resolving the trade war between Washington and Beijing, and Mr Reynolds took the opportunity to meet him in person to push for the UK-US trade deal announced last month to be implemented as soon as possible. The meeting follows talks between the Business Secretary and US trade representative Jamieson Greer in Paris last week. Under the terms of the agreement announced by Sir Keir and Donald Trump, the US will implement import quotas that will effectively eliminate tariffs on British steel and cut the levy on vehicles to 10%. But the deal has yet to be implemented and tariffs on both steel and cars remain at 25%, although the UK has been spared the increase on steel duties to 50% that Mr Trump imposed on the rest of the world last week. In a post on social media, Mr Reynolds said he had discussed 'progress on our trade deal – including UK autos and steel' with Mr Lutnick. UK officials remain hopeful that the deal will be implemented soon, but Tuesday's meeting does not appear to have moved the issue beyond both sides agreeing the need to move quickly. Speaking in the Commons last week, Sir Keir said he was 'very confident' that tariffs would come down in line with the deal 'within a very short time'. Implementing the deal will require the UK to pass legislation, likely to involve regulations rather than a full Act of Parliament, while the US will also need to create a legal mechanism to bring steel and vehicle quotas into effect.
