Charles III also became the first British monarch to publicly disclose this type of payment.<\/p>\n    \n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information presented by <strong>Buckingham Palace<\/strong> shows that the monarchy combines public funds, real estate income, and private fortunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sovereign Grant finances the official activities of the monarchy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main public fund allocated to the royal family is the <strong>Sovereign Grant<\/strong>, known as the Sovereign Endowment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This resource funds the official functions of the British Crown. Among the main expenses financed are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>maintenance of royal residences<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>salaries of monarchy staff<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>official travels of the royal family<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>institutional commitments on behalf of the Crown<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2025 and 2026, the endowment reached approximately <strong>US$ 174.5 million<\/strong>, equivalent to R$ 905.4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forecast for 2026 and 2027 rose to <strong>US$ 182 million<\/strong>, about R$ 944.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount is expected to drop to approximately <strong>US$ 132 million between 2027 and 2028<\/strong>, equivalent to R$ 685 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reduction will occur mainly after the progress of renovation works at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security expenses are outside the Sovereign Grant.

The king, therefore, does not directly receive these earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crown Estate gathers billion-dollar assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Crown Estate<\/strong> manages a portfolio estimated at <strong>US$ 22 billion<\/strong>, approximately R$ 114.1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the managed assets are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>properties in prime areas of London;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>properties and rural lands;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>British coastal areas;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rights over the seabed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>historical properties linked to the Crown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Crown Estate <strong>does not belong to the king as private property<\/strong>.
