Prince William Overtakes King Charles with £1.2bn Duchy of Cornwall Estate
Prince William now controls the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate valued at around £1.2 billion, making him wealthier than his father, King Charles III. Latest financial accounts show William received £21.6 million in private income and paid over £20 million in taxes during the 2025–26 financial year. By comparison, King Charles’s personal fortune is estimated at £640 million. William has also given up the £1.5 million annual rental income from the former Dartmoor Prison. Meanwhile, once Buckingham Palace’s £370 million refurbishment is complete next year, the King will remain at Clarence House while the palace serves as the monarchy’s administrative hub.
