That\u2019s a shame. And, despite the Palace saying that this was all about clarity, context and transparency, it turns out that we have only part of the story. The tax paid by the King and the Prince is rather meaningless when we don\u2019t know the full picture: the total income, the expenses claimed, the dividends paid etc,\u201d said the expert.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI know William is a fiercely private man, but he does need to read the room and be more open about his finances. His Duchy is professionally run, the books are officially audited \u2013 so there should be nothing to hide. He would do himself a favour to be frank about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                                                &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/1407369-prince-william-asked-to-ditch-privacy-streak-become-transparent-king\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince William asked to ditch \u2018privacy\u2019 streak, become transparent king https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/1407369-prince-william-asked-to-ditch-privacy-streak-become-transparent-king Publish Date: 2026-06-27 17:13:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":283082,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/assets\/uploads\/2026-06-28\/1407369_014915_updates.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-283081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283081"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283081"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283083,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283081\/revisions\/283083"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
