Royal News:Prince William’s annual salary revealed after receiving title change
Prince William received a whopping $30 million income from his Duchy of Cornwall estate during the 2023-2024 financial year, multiple outlets report.
According to the reports, the Duchy of Cornwall — the estate William, 42, inherited from his father, King Charles III, when he ascended the throne in Sept. 2022 — garnered a distributable surplus of £23.6 million ($30.4 million) from its investments, per its latest Integrated Annual Report.
Along with the estate, William was given the Duke of Cornwall title.
The report also revealed William — an avid football fan — has been given the title of Patron of the Football Association. The title was previously held by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
This FA oversees England’s men’s and women’s professional, youth and disabled soccer teams.
Furthermore, he has been given authority over the Welsh Guards Charity and the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association and was named president of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association.
The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association gives the highest military honor to civilians and military personnel.
William gave up his title of president of Fields in Trust, however, to become a patron. Fields in Trust is an organization that protects parks and green spaces across the UK.
