Stipend as Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

During their tenure as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, and Princess Catherine had access to a stipend provided by the Duchy of Cornwall, an entity reputedly valued at an impressive $1.3 billion. In essence, the princess's already substantial net worth experienced a noteworthy boost upon assuming her role as a duchess.

Duchy of Cornwall

The Duchy of Cornwall, established by Edward III in 1337, operates as a private trust fund. In 2018, it yielded $28 million for King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, per CNN. As part of their royal responsibilities, the Prince and Princess of Wales receive an annual income from the duchy. This encompasses various assets like real estate, land, and rentals. Moreover, the duchy reportedly covers expenses such as the Princess of Wales' official attire and requisites.

The Duchess's parents purchased the luxurious residence for £780,000 in 2002 and have now sold it for £1.88 million (around $2.39 million), marking a substantial gain. The apartment features a roomy living area, a sophisticated marble kitchen, and three bedrooms, including a master suite offering picturesque views of Chelsea.
