In addition to the personal wealth of the Windsors, active members of the monarchy receive a monthly income.
Prince William, as the heir to the throne and Prince of Wales, is one of the highest earners within the royal family.

However, many were surprised to learn the exact amount the son of Princess Diana receives.
How much is Prince William’s salary?
According to what was published by Page Six, William received a private income this year of more than $7.5 million, according to the Duchy of Cornwall’s 2023 annual report.
Upon Queen Elizabeth’s passing, Charles automatically ascended to the throne, and William inherited his father’s titles, including the Duke of Cornwall.
The Duchy of Cornwall is the primary source of income for the crown, so the amount received by William could potentially increase.
According to the cited report, the Duchy of Cornwall recorded net earnings of over $30 million for the financial year 2022 to 2023.
In the coming year, William’s income could further increase as he will receive the total earnings recorded by the duchy.
This time, he shared with his father, King Charles, as William inherited the estate midway through the financial year, and the former Duke of Cornwall was entitled to half of the money.
In total, Charles was entitled to $14 million, while William received $16 million. However, the duchy decided to withhold a portion of the money for “working capital purposes,” resulting in King Charles receiving just over $7 million.
