Prince William, Kate Middleton Will Earn This Staggering Amount When Prince Charles Becomes King

They already have an impressive combined net worth and impressive titles, but when the day comes that Prince Charles ascends the throne and becomes King, Prince William and Kate Middleton stand to gain quite a bit more.

Prince William, who currently stands at second in line for the throne, will inherit some of his father’s own impressive estate following his grandmother’s death, According to Express UK, tradition states that the portfolio of assets the new monarch owns will transfer to the eldest surviving son when they ascend the throne, meaning that Charles’ current assets will become William’s.

Among the new assets will be the land and properties of the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate consisting of 53,000 hectares of land in 23 counties, which is allegedly valued at around £1 billion. The estate will be run by Prince William when he inherits it, and in the documentary “Prince Charles: Inside The Duchy Of Cornwall,” he revealed that he plans to follow his father’s style when it comes to how he will manage it.

“Well, rest assured I’m not going to rock the boat; I’ll do much the same as what my father’s doing,” he said at the time.

In addition to that massive undertaking when the day comes, Prince William also has other income as well, sharing a £14 million inheritance with his brother, Prince Harry, which came from the Queen Mother’s estate, as well a £10 million inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana, which he received on his 30th birthday in 2012. He also reportedly earned between £53,000 and £57,000 a year while working as an RAF helicopter pilot.

In addition, when he inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, there will be an income that comes from that as well. The amount varies, but according to the Duchy’s financial documents, Prince Charles received £21.6 million between March 2018 and March 2019.
