Probably not (yet!). It was the year of his accession and his predecessors had run up quite a debt. Until then the monarch had been personally responsible for all the costs of civil government (net of certain taxes). (Parliament was responsible for defence spending and the National Debt.) So probably it wasn't a bad deal, in the long term.

(All this learning is from Wikipaedia, as usual!)
