How much actual net worth does each member of the Royal family own? We all know they are known to enjoy a life of luxury. Who is wealthier, Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton? What about Prince Harry or Prince William?
In addition, the new generation of Royals earns an incredible amount of money. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet are all worth more than we will ever see in our lifetimes, even though they are far too young to work or even tie their shoelaces.
This is a wealth ranking of all the royal family’s significant members.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – £400k
The three children of Prince William and Kate Middleton—Prince George, age 11, Princess Charlotte, age 9, and Prince Louis, age 7—are already on the royal wealth radar despite their age.
How did they amass this enormous wealth? As one might anticipate, gifts, inheritances, and trust funds are the only sources of the preteens’ riches. It’s interesting to note that some analysts predict Princess Charlotte will outearn her brothers when she grows up.
The “Kate Middleton effect” is the cause of this. In essence, her mother is so fashionable that everything she wears sells out right away, and it’s likely that Princess Charlotte will have a similar impact in the future.

Queen Camilla – £3.9m
Camilla’s net worth is lower than that of her other Royal counterparts, even though she is the Queen of England. A £500k inheritance from one of her grandparents and an £850k country home she acquired following her divorce from her first husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, are the sources of her riches.
Prince Andrew – £3.9m
Prince Andrew still has substantial wealth even though he is reportedly £12 million poorer after paying Virginia Giuffre an undisclosed settlement in a civil sexual assault action.
The Duke of York, who is purportedly under pressure from King Charles to expel him from the Royal Lodge in Windsor, has recently fallen on difficult times despite his enormous wealth. He makes money via a variety of real estate transactions and his Navy pension.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – £3.9m to £7.9m
Kate’s parents are millionaires because of their business, Party Pieces, and her wardrobe alone is reportedly worth £760k. Kate’s sister Pippa married millionaire James Matthews, making her five times richer than she is.
Is Meghan Markle desperate to get her hands on Prince Harry’s incoming inheritance?

Harry and Meghan – £47m
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are among the wealthiest members of the Royal family, even though they resigned as senior royals in 2020. Harry got a trust fund of £7.9 million from the Queen Mother on his 40th birthday and the £10 million he inherited from Princess Diana.
Then there are the earnings from his contentious, candid book, Spare. As part of the couple’s £80 million deal with the streaming service, Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, was just renewed for a second season. Because of her work on Suits and her lifestyle blog, The Tig, Meghan was projected to be worth £3.9 million before her marriage to Harry.
Prince William – £80m
The heir to the throne, like Harry, has profited from the Queen Mother and Princess Diana’s bequests, but his main possession is the Duchy of Cornwall. William received £23 million in private income from the duchy between April 2023 and March 2024.

King Charles – £610 million to £1.8 billion
Charles received the Queen’s estate in 2022 without being required to pay inheritance tax. The King is worth £1.8 billion, according to a thorough investigation from The Guardian. His wealth consists of £330 million in private properties, including Sandringham and Balmoral; £2.3 million from the sale of horses at auction; a collection of art worth £24 million; £533 million in jewels; and, surprisingly, a collection of stamps worth £100 million. The £20 million he receives annually from the Duchy of Lancaster is on top of this.
Nonetheless, a representative for the King described these statistics as “a highly creative mix of speculation, assumption, and inaccuracy.” The King’s net worth is £610 million, according to the Sunday Times rich list.
