Under British law, the monarch's eldest child inherits the possession of the Duchy of Cornwall, a real estate portfolio. While Prince William is next in line to possess the benefits from the income, it will eventually be passed on to his eldest son. Furthermore, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales will gain access to funds from the Duchy of Lancaster, along with money from the government-allocated Sovereign Grant. The Duchy of Lancaster, established in the 13th century, is a unique portfolio of land, property, and assets held in trust. Currently owned by His Majesty the King as Duke of Lancaster, the rural estates cover 44,748 acres of land in England and Wales, comprising commercial, agricultural, and residential properties.
Although the British Royal Family's current net worth hasn't been publicly disclosed, Forbes estimates it to be around 22 billion. This total includes the values of the Crown Estate, Buckingham Palace, the Duchy of Cornwall, Duchy of Lancaster, Kensington Palace, and the Crown Estate Scotland.
Prince George's wealth has served as a wake-up call for Prince Harry and Meghan. In an interview, Harry expressed a sense of urgency, acknowledging that he has a limited amount of time to make his mark on the world before William's children grow up and take the spotlight. There are rumors that Harry harbors jealousy and bitterness towards children, and his relationship with his niece and nephews is said to be distant. Some palace aides have claimed that Harry was always envious of William, George, and Charlotte, and meeting Meghan fulfilled his desire for validation and an exit strategy from the British royal family.
