The financial dynamics within the British royal family have long been a topic of keen concern and fascination. Recently, the focus has been on the comparison of the wealth of the members, especially the discussion of the wealth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Their decision to step back from royal duties and repay the cost of the renovation of the Villa has sparked a discussion about the contrast between their wealth and that of other members of the royal family.
According to British media on April 16, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now living in the Montecito mansion with their two children, and their combined net worth is about 48 million pounds. Although they abdicated their official royal duties and promised to repay the public funds of the Villa Firemont, their wealth remained insignificant compared to the rest of the royal family.
In contrast, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, had an even greater fortune. Prince William's net worth is around £949 million, largely due to the Oval Cricket Stadium and the Duchy of Cornwall, which he inherited when his father ascended the throne. Kate Middleton has a personal fortune of around £7.9 million, and the duo have a combined fortune of nearly £960 million.
At the top of the list of royal wealth is King Charles, who is estimated by The Sunday Times to be worth £18 billion. This vast wealth includes a variety of assets and investments. Similarly, Queen Camilla's wealth is believed to be comparable to that of Kate Middleton, at around £7.9 million.
Princess Anne and her husband, retired naval officer Timothy Lawrence, have a combined fortune of nearly £16 million, amassed through various channels. Prince Harry and Prince William's cousin, Princess Beatrice, are said to hold assets worth around £797,000, while her husband Adordo Marpelly Mozzi's wealth has not been disclosed, but is rumoured to be in the millions.
After marrying Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie's combined net worth with her husband stands at £3.7 million, according to E! News. Zara and Mike Tyndall, while not receiving any financial support from the royal family, are estimated to have a combined net worth of around £30 million, with Mike's rugby career and television appearances contributing a sizable portion of their wealth.
Sophie and Prince Edward are frequent appearances at public events, and they have amassed a net worth of around £42 million through various ventures and investments.
Overall, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wealth is considerable, but it still pales in comparison to the vast wealth of other royal family members, such as Prince William and King Charles. The complexity of royal wealth continues to attract public interest, offering a glimpse into the financial landscape of one of the world's most prominent dynasties.
