The Financial Situation of the British Royal Family Revealed: Prince William Richer Than His Father

The heir to the British throne, Prince William, has reached a fortune of approximately £1.2 billion (around 74 billion lira), making him richer than his father, King Charles. The personal tax debt of King Charles was made public for the first time in history. However, a surprising development in the same documents caught attention: Prince William is now a billionaire and richer than his father. King Charles' personal tax payment for the 2024-25 financial year was announced as £12.9 million. With the release of the annual accounts of the Duchy of Cornwall, Prince William's fortune has also been clarified. The net worth William has acquired from the Duchy, which he inherited four years ago, is at the level of £1.2 billion. This figure is almost twice the £640 million personal fortune of King Charles as listed in the Sunday Times Rich List. Prince William earned £21.6 million in private income from the Duchy in the 2025-26 period. In the name of transparency, the King and Prince William have disclosed their personal tax payments for the first time. Prince William paid £7.76 million in income and capital gains tax in 2024-25. Since becoming the Prince of Wales, he has paid more than £20 million in taxes.
