Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, both King Charles and Prince William saw a major increase in their individual net worth.
Before becoming the monarch, the majority of Charles’ income came from the Duchy of Cornwall, an investment portfolio covering land in southwest England. He had a net worth between $100 and $400 million, but that number skyrocketed when he ascended the throne. Today, Celebrity Net Worth reports that he has an estimated net worth of $750 million.
Prince William’s net worth before he was the Prince of Wales was estimated to be about $40 million but he now benefits from the Duchy his father once did. According to Celebrity Net Worth, William’s current net worth is $100 million.
So which royal has the highest net worth behind the king and his oldest son?

A number of celebrities were in attendance at Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on Monday (19 September).
The late monarch’s funeral began at 11am, after King Charles III led a procession from nearby Westminster Hall, where her body had been lying in state since Wednesday afternoon (14 September).
Some 2,000 mourners, including world leaders such as US president Joe Biden, took their seats earlier in the 1,269-year-old Westminster Abbey ahead of the funeral.
The Order of Service included a sermon by Archbishop Justin Welby, in which he quoted Vera Lynn’s famous Second World War song “We’ll Meet Again”, and several musical moments.
A number of the late monarch’s favourite hymns, including “The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not Want”, were performed by the choirs of Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal.
A few recognisable faces were spotted in attendance at the ceremony.

Peep Showfans have reacted with delight upon realising that the actor who played Big Suze in the show, Sophie Winkleman, is a member of the royal family.
On Friday evening (16 September), the Queen’s children – King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew – stood by her coffin in Westminster Hall in a vigil for the late monarch.
The event was covered live on BBC One, with some viewers spotting Winkleman standing with the royals.
The actor, who is half-sister to Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman, married Lord Frederick Windsor in 2009, becoming Lady Frederick Windsor.
Lord Frederick is the son of Prince Michael of Kent, one of Queen Elizabeth II’s cousins. He is currently 52nd in line to the throne.

The word ‘royalty’ is often casually used to describe people who are really popular in the entertainment industry, but in Sophie Winkleman’s case, the word is legitimately accurate. In addition to being an actress, she is also a member of the royal family. In 2009, she married Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Queen Elizabeth II’s first cousin. The marriage officially made Sophie Lady Frederick Windsor. However, unlike most other members of the royal family who devout their entire lives to the crown, Sophie has continued to work as an actress and she has found a lot of success in

Meghan Markle was not the only actress to go royal. Of course, there was also Grace Kelly, but thanks to a new headline-making interview, fans are realizing there's another member of that unique club. For anyone who's watched seasons nine and 10 of Two and a Half Men, you likely have seen Sophie Winkleman. The England native portrayed Zoey, the woman who turned down the proposal of Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher). While she was rejecting a ring on screen, behind the scenes, Winkleman had already tied the knot with Lord Frederick Windsor in September 2009, two years before her debut on the hit CBS sitcom.

The royal family excels especially in two areas: weddings and scandals. And sometimes, those two go hand in hand. Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II's first cousin Prince Michael of Kent, was set to marry financier Thomas Kingston at noon at St. George's Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, almost a year to the day after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their vows at the same altar. And in a bit of a surprise for those expecting him to stay home with barely 2-week-old Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor (and because Gabriella, who familiarly goes by Ella, and her brother Lord Frederick Windsor were not at Harry and Meghan's wedding), Harry was at the...

It's safe to say Prince George and Princess Charlotte know how to steal the limelight during a wedding, and the most recent royal wedding was no different. On Friday, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank made things official at St. George's Chapel in Windsor - the same chapel as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - surrounded by all their family and friends and an adorable party of bridesmaids and pageboys. Possibly the most adorable part was seeing Prince George and Princess Charlotte falling over on the walk up to the chapel, after being blown away by the wind. Of course, the two little royal pros immediately brushed themselves off and continued lapping up the cheers from the crowd.
This wasn't George and Charlotte's first time playing these roles; the two young royals had prior experience at Pippa Middleton's wedding in May 2017, and of course, at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle...

As if Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie's regal nuptials aren't exciting enough, another royal wedding is now officially in the works!

No fewer than ten British royals live at Kensington Palace, but there's no guarantee they all get along. In fact, Princess Michael of Kent, a cousin-in-law of Queen Elizabeth, might be something of a social pariah because of an ill-advised choice of jewelry she wore this past December. You see, Princess Michael set off a scandal when she wore a blackamoor brooch to the Queen's Christmas luncheon last year, an event also attended by Meghan Markle, who is biracial. (Blackamoor jewelry portrays black figurines, often in positions of servitude, per Town & Country.) Princess Michael was "very sorry and distressed" by the controversy, her spokesperson told TMZ, and she vowed to retire the brooch. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Still, the incident did nothing to help Princess Michael's reputation, which has been dogged by racism accusations for years. At an NYC restaurant in 2004, for example, she reportedly told a group of black...

Princess Michael of Kent sparked fury when she showed up to the Queen’s Christmas lunch wearing a racially tinged blackamoor brooch — on the day Meghan Markle, who is biracial, was formally introduced to the royal family by Prince Harry.
But this isn’t the first time Princess Michael has made headlines for her controversial behavior. Dubbed “Princess Pushy,” the wife of the Queen’s first cousin raised eyebrows right from the start.
The former Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz married Prince Michael of Kent, a grandson of King George V, in 1978. Similar to Wallis Simpson, she was divorced and Catholic.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore a festive red coat as she sat next to the Duke of Cambridge, who was driving, while George rested in a car seat in the back alongside the family's nanny. Other members of the royal family were also spotted arriving at the annual event, including Princess Beatrice; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Prince Charles; and Lord Freddie Windsor and his wife, actress Sophie Winkleman, who recently christened their daughter, Maud, in the same royal christening gown that Prince George wore in November. Notable absences included Princess Eugenie, who is currently working in NYC, and Prince Harry, who is still on a journey back from the South Pole after completing his trek with Walking With the Wounded last week.
