Prince William's Annual Salary Is Staggering, But Apparently Prince Harry Will Have An Even More Impressive Payday

As a long-time follower of the British royal family and a dedicated gamer, I’ve always been fascinated by the wealth and financial intricacies that surround this historic institution. It’s no secret that Princes William and Harry are two of its most prominent members, and recently, some exciting new details have emerged about their respective fortunes.


It’s common knowledge that Princes William and Harry are affluent. Although Harry has relinquished his royal responsibilities, he remains a British monarchy member. Wealth, castles, and coronations aren’t merely Disney tales in this context. So, how much wealth are we referring to? The public recently learned about Prince William’s yearly income, which carries quite a few zeros. As for Harry, although he may not enjoy the same perks as his elder brother, indications suggest that he will receive more than William from his trust fund.

Prince William’s Salary Released In Annual Report

After Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022 and King Charles III took the throne, Prince William became the new Duke of Cornwall and gained control over the Duchy of Cornwall estate. According to the New York Post’s analysis of the duchy’s financial report for the year 2023-24, Prince William earned a salary amounting to $30 million.

The Duchy of Cornwall, founded by King Edward III in 1337, functions as a private estate to finance the activities, both public and personal, of the heir to the British throne. Contrary to assumptions, Prince Harry does not receive any financial gains from this estate. Despite appearances, Prince Harry’s financial situation is not distressing.

Prince Harry Set To Inherit More Than William From Queen Mother’s Trust Fund

Prince Harry marks a significant birthday this year as he turns 40 on September 15. Contrary to the apprehension some may have about reaching this age, Harry is anticipated to receive an appealing present to ease the sting of growing older. According to reports, the author of “Spare” will acquire approximately $8.5 million from his portion of the trust fund that the Queen Mother established for her great-grandchildren.

Based on The Guardian’s report, Princess Diana’s sons received portions of their inheritance when they reached the age of 21, with an additional sum given to them upon turning 40. Prince William, being 42 years old, has presumably already received the second installment of his trust fund. However, it seems that what he obtained was less than the $8.5 million that Harry is set to inherit. According to The Guardian’s article, the Queen Mother allocated the majority of her sons’ money to Harry since he wouldn’t stand to gain from the Duchy of Cornwall as his elder brother now does, being in line for the throne.

The long-standing conflict between William and Harry has gained significant attention, with many insights coming from Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.” It’s worth pondering if money fuels any lingering animosity between them. Regardless of their substantial wealth, there isn’t a sum too great or too insignificant that can’t ignite an argument when there’s a sense of unevenness. At times, I’d argue with my sibling over something as trivial as a $20 bill.

As someone who has gone through challenging health issues within my family, I can only imagine the emotional turmoil the royal family is experiencing right now. It’s heartbreaking to hear that both King Charles and Kate Middleton have been diagnosed with cancer in the same year. My heart goes out to them as they navigate this difficult time.
