Harry seething with envy as William and Kate become billionaires after Queen’s death
Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton have received a massive financial windfall following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The couple, who were already holding prestigious titles such as Prince and Princess of Wales, have now inherited an astonishing £1.1 billion.
This sudden increase in wealth has left Prince Harry feeling envious and perhaps questioning his own financial situation.
The passing of Her Majesty on September 8th resulted in Prince Charles assuming the role of Head of State immediately.
As a result, he was bestowed with the new title of King Charles III.
This meant that his previous title of Prince of Wales became vacant, and he decided to pass it on to his son, Prince William.
Additionally, Charles announced that his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, would take on the title of Princess of Wales, a role that has remained unoccupied since the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997.
With these new titles came a substantial increase in wealth, although it is worth noting that the couple was already financially comfortable.
Prior to this inheritance, Prince William was estimated to be worth around £34 million.
However, his net worth has now skyrocketed to an impressive £1.1 billion solely due to the acquisition of these new titles.
In addition to being the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate also hold the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Cornwall.
The inclusion of Cornwall in their titles grants them ownership of an extensive portfolio of land and assets.
Reports suggest that they now possess approximately 128,000 acres of land spanning across 20 counties in England and Wales.
Notably, this includes areas such as Dartmoor National Park and even a prison located in Dartmoor.
Furthermore, the couple now owns parts of Devon, Kent, Dorset, Carmarthenshire, and Nottinghamshire.
Despite Prince William's passion for football and his support for Aston Villa, he now finds himself the owner of the Oval Cricket Ground, frequently used by the Surrey County Cricket Club.
Additionally, they have acquired a garden center in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, should they ever feel the need to indulge in some gardening.
The couple's newfound wealth also extends to forests, rivers, and other natural landscapes, providing them with ample opportunities to escape the pressures of their royal duties and enjoy some peace and tranquility.
As the monarchy undergoes changes following the Queen's passing, it is expected that King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will relocate from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace.
Surprisingly, there are rumors suggesting that Prince William and Kate Middleton may also move, despite their recent relocation from Anmer Hall to Adelaide Cottage.
The Daily Mail reports that there is a significant effort to restructure the vast royal estate, which includes considering Windsor Castle as a potential new residence for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Charles's plans encompass transforming Balmoral into a museum dedicated to the Queen's legacy.
These proposed changes have caused some concern for Prince Andrew, who fears for his home in Windsor, while his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, will likely be seeking alternative accommodations during this reshuffling process.
King Charles strongly believes that the royal residences should serve a purpose beyond being mere dwellings for the royal family.
There is a focus on determining the value these properties can offer to the public.
This perspective has prompted discussions about potentially relinquishing certain residences, although the fear remains that once surrendered, they may never be reclaimed when Prince George and the younger generation of royals require their own homes.
