Although their daily lives unfold among privileges, the true size of their personal wealth remains a mystery difficult to unravel
While the public image of the British royal family is built on official acts, coronations, and fairy-tale weddings, there is an aspect that remains in the shadows: money. Despite living surrounded by top-level and palaces, the true extent of their personal fortunes is a mystery.
The figures are hidden behind traditions, institutional discretion, and legal loopholes that exempt them from public accountability. However, when some data come to light, surprises are guaranteed.
Another Secret of King Charles III and Prince William Revealed
One of them came a few months ago thanks to a ranking published by the Daily Mail. This way, it put estimated numbers on the wealth of the main members of the Windsor house. The result caused a lot of commotion.
The wealthiest is not Charles III, but his eldest son, Prince William. The heir to the throne has accumulated a fortune that would exceed one billion pounds, positioning himself as the member with the greatest wealth within the family.
A good part of that sum comes from the title he received when he was named Prince of Wales, granting him control of the Duchy of Cornwall. This set of properties and real estate investments has an approximate value of 1.3 billion pounds.
Among the assets of the duchy are islands, sports complexes, prisons, and other high-yield economic assets. To this asset base are added various family inheritances he has received over the years.
Inheritances from his mother, Princess Diana; his grandmother, Elizabeth II; and his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. All of this has consolidated an unprecedented fortune among the Windsors.
Charles III Is in Second Position
Although Prince William leads the ranking as the richest member of the British royal family, his father is not far behind. In fact, it is curious that the monarch himself occupies the second place on this list, just behind his son.
According to the Daily Mail, King Charles III's fortune exceeds 900 million pounds, thanks in large part to the Duchy of Lancaster. A multimillion-pound and tax-free source of income, in addition to various properties and family inheritances.
Below the monarch, the figures are more modest. Kate Middleton, the current Princess of Wales, is around eight million pounds. Prince Andrew, the king's brother, has approximately five million, while his daughters are around three and a half million.
