British royal Prince William’s annual salary has been revealed in a newly published report.
The heir to the British throne was given the title Duke of Cornwall following his father King Charles III’s ascension to the throne in 2022. Prior to this, William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, served as queen for a record-breaking 70 years and 214 days.
Prince William received a salary of $30 million as part of his first full year’s income from the Duchy of Cornwall estate, which he inherited from his father along with his new title. The number comes courtesy of the Integrated Annual Report, which the Duchy of Cornwall published Thursday. The document revealed a distributable surplus of £23.6 million ($30.4 million) for the 2023-2024 financial year from rents and investments, per Newsweek.
While this number represents a £400,000 ($516,485) decrease from last year, this is the first year Prince William and his wife Catherine received the full amount.
The duchy holds more than $1 billion in property holdings across 52,250 hectares (just over 129,112 acres) of land and more than $100 million in financial assets. The outlet noted that the inherited nature of the estate and the origins of the property have become controversial topics.
The organization noted how the surplus income “meets the cost of the official, charitable, and private lives of their royal highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.”
The Independent noted that Prince William refused to disclose the exact amount of taxes he paid on the income. Kensington Palace said only that Prince William had paid the “appropriate” amount and had decided not to publish details beyond “what was required.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been dealing with a recent medical diagnosis which necessitated Catherine undergoing cancer treatments and stepping back from her public duties as a working royal.
She said in June that she has been “blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement” that she and her family received from the public since announcing her diagnosis.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting,” the Princess of Wales said at the time. “But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months,” she continued. “On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”
The Princess of Wales just made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon this month, much to the delight of her fans.
