Have you ever wondered How much do British Royals earn? The answer is obviously complicated because between titles, estates, foundations and much more, everyone has enormous assets which differentiates them from the other members also from the point of view of income but at least as far as the prince is concerned William we have some more data.
As an active member of the Royal family, he does not receive a traditional income but liquidity enters his coffers every year. We are obviously talking about exorbitant figures.
According to the Integrated Annual Report 2025, the heir to the throne of England he made 22.9 million pounds (about 26.5 million euros) from the Duchy of Cornwall for the financial year 2024–2025. In the 2023-24 financial year, his first under full management of the Duchy, revenues were £23.6m.
William became Duke of Cornwall in 2022. Before him was his father Charles who, once crowned King, handed over to him the title and management of the historic estate founded in 1337 by King Edward III to provide funds to the heir to the throne, his son Edward Woodstock, known as the Black Prince. heldof the worth over 1 billion dollarscovers 130,000 acres in 23 counties across England and Wales and includes land, farms, houses and other assets.
The amount earned by the Duchy is used to finance the official, charitable and private expenses of Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, including, in recent months, those of the renovation of Forest Lodge, the house where the family has moved in recent days. The Prince does not have direct access to capital but like ordinary citizens he pays tax on the income and surpluses he receives.
A source revealed to the magazine People That after the death of Queen Elizabeth Williams took the role very seriously of Duke of Cornwall, and who has often stopped at the estate since he inherited it, also participating in many social initiatives in the area. In May 2024, for example, he visited the site of an innovative housing project aimed at tackling homelessness in Newquay.
Despite the commitment, as reported by Daily Mailto the dissemination of dataIntegrated Annual Report, some residents of the Duchy of Cornwall have expressed their disappointment for the state of their cities and the alleged lack of interaction from the Royal family. In particular, residents of Poundbury in Dorset, known for having grown up on the vision of King Charles, said their town “no longer lives up to its paradisiacal image. It was Charles’s baby, but he doesn’t have time to take care of it and William doesn’t want to know about it.”
