Sir John Major suggested assets of the monarchy were at risk of being salami-sliced away through capital taxation over many generations. He told the House of Commons that he believed it was necessary to protect the independence of the monarchy.
The monarch is not legally obliged to pay any tax in the UK, but the Queen began to pay Income and Capital Gains Tax on a voluntary basis in 1993, and King Charles is expected to do the same. The former Prince of Wales also voluntarily paid tax on his income from the Duchy of Cornwall estate, which has now been passed to Prince William as the new Prince of Wales.

Anyone other than King Charles who has inherited private assets from the Queen will have to pay inheritance tax.

According to google, Sunak is actually much richer than King Charles, given that the Crown Estates belong to us.
