Inside Prince William’s properties that you can rent out, including luxury cottages

Holidaymakers can enjoy a stay in one of Prince William’s luxury cottages for less than the price of a budget hotel. See list of the royal’s properties up for rent.

Royal fans can now holiday like a king with 12 of the monarch’s properties available to rent for as little as £17-a-night ($A33).

Prince William inherited King Charles’ £1 billion ($A1.9b) property portfolio, spread over 23 counties in England and Wales, after taking over Duchy of Cornwall.

Among those are multiple luxurious holiday homes that can be rented out at incredibly affordable prices.

Now, a number of properties have had their prices slashed even further with a week’s stay in one of the Prince of Wales’ Cornish rentals costing as low as £614 ($A1187) for four people – £21 ($A40) a night per head, or £42 ($A80) a couple.

The move is said to be an attempt to make the properties more appealing to families struggling with the cost of living crisis.

Last month, Prince William told the Sunday Times an “eloquent non-answer” when asked if there were any plans to use palaces from the Duchy of Cornwall to help him on his quest.

But when asked if there are “Duchy plans for affordable housing”, he said: “Absolutely. Social housing. You’ll see that when it’s ready. I’m no policy expert, but I push it where I can.”

Here we take a look at Prince William’s holiday portfolio.

Tamarisk House

Nestled in the heart of St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly is Tamarisk House, which used to be one of King Charles’ favourite places to visit with his first wife Princess Diana.
