The Prince of Wales, 42, has completed his first full year as the Duke of Cornwall and received a massive sum of money for the 2023-2024 financial year. His current income was revealed in the Integrated Annual Report published on Wednesday by the Duchy of Cornwall—the estate that he inherited from his father, King Charles III, when the monarch assumed the throne in September 2022.

Prince William, the heir to the British throne, became the 25th Duke of Cornwall after his father’s ascension. King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall until 2022, and the Duchy of Cornwall estate provided for his needs until he passed down the title to his first-born son. The Duchy of Cornwall is a vast private estate established in 1337 by King Edward III to provide income to the heir to the British throne. Spanning nearly 130,000 acres across some 20 counties in England and Wales, it includes land, farms, houses, and other assets worth more than $1 billion.

A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales) “Over the years, I have had the privilege of introducing the 25th Duke to the Duchy, with visits to the estate to meet tenants, and more recently as he and his advisers attended meetings of various Duchy Committees,” he wrote. “This year has been the first full year with the ‘new team’ in post, and it has been a busy year. Four meetings of The Prince’s Council were held,” he continued. “In addition, His Royal Highness attended a number of other committee meetings and visited tenants and property. Our new Council members and advisers have given generously of their time and expertise, both in meetings and across the estate.” Anyone can write on Bored Panda. Start writing!
