Nothing too surprising or revelatary really...other than the ongoing shocker that we still have this ancient, pointless institution called monarchy.
Public funding for Prince Charles increased by 11.8% during 2011/2012, accounts for Clarence House show.
The accounts showed (http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/content/documents/Annual%20Review%202012.pdf) the Prince of Wales's funding from grants-in-aid and government departments rose from £1,962,000 in 2010/2011 to £2,194,000.
The cost of travel by air and rail for the prince and the Duchess of Cornwall to attend official engagements was £1,318,000, up from £1.08m.
The prince's private income from the Duchy of Cornwall rose by 3% to £18.3m.
After deducting business expenditure the prince paid £4,496,000 in tax at the 50% rate.
Of £9.38m spent on official and charitable duties, £6.7m - or 68% - went on staff costs.
