Prince William’s extraordinary salary has been revealed and he’s set to rake in an eight-figure sum for the last six months alone.
According to the Duchy of Cornwall’s 2023 annual report, the 41-year-old royal received a private income of just under £6 million (A$11,434,000) this year.
William became the Duke of Cornwall following the death of Queen Elizabeth and his father, Charles’ ascension to the throne, meaning he is now also entitled to any surplus of profits from the dukedom.
In the financial year of 2022 to 2023, the Duchy recorded net profits of £24.048 million ($45,800,000), according to the report, which was up £1.02 million ($1,944,260) from the year before.
The Prince of Wales would usually be entitled to $45.8 million as his private income, but because he only became heir halfway through the financial year, he received a fraction of this.
What do you think about members of the royal family receiving a salary as large as this?
