Can anyone justify this whilst spending cuts are leading to key health services closing and patients being denied 'expensive' medicine; grants to train teachers are being cut aggressively or abolished; etc.?

Though in this case I don't think he should be getting so much money especially when he has £17m a year income from private sources. Though on the flip side of the coin, if the government keeps asking him to go places, should he just say no if the govt refuses to pay?
As the multi-millionaires Cameron and Osbourne keep reminding us.
"The Prince of Wales received an extra £298,000 in taxpayer funding last year but paid an extra £914,000 in tax."

I would say, however, that everyone else is paying increased tax without the additional 18% on their income.
That would be tax paid on the income from the Duchy of Cornwall which he was given, just like the 18% increase on money from the Govt. Just to keep the balance
Not that I'm sure why the Grauniad are so upset. Due to myriad offshore trust funds and tax avoidance strategies, they haven't paid a single penny in tax for years.
Looks like mummy more than evened it out
Surprisingly enough, the royal family is quite in the business of wind farming. If only they could harness all the hot air that comes from Prince Charles..
