The Firm rich list: Which royals are rolling in it
The monarchy and its institutions can resemble a vast wealthy corporation. Tot up the value of its buildings, land, mineral rights, art and other treasures and you arrive at a number north of £20bn ($34bn).
It's a golden age for the fortunes of the world’s richest people – and the royals are no exception.
Here are the wealthiest members of the Firm.
The bulk of the royal family’s wealth lies in the vast property portfolio known as the Crown Estate. It includes land, buildings and seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Crown Estate
£16.5bn
The Crown owns more than 240 buildings in London
The Crown Estate at a glance
Nearly 80,000ha of land
Over 30 offshore wind farms
Sandringham Estate and Balmoral Castle belonged to the Queen personally
William takes control of the Duchy of Cornwall and in doing so effectively becomes a billionaire. The new Prince of Wales already inherited around £10m from his late mother Diana and £7m from the Queen Mother, who died in 2002.
Prince William
£1.05bn
Considered for many years the “hardest working royal”, Anne has some of her expenses met by the Sovereign Grant and is believed to receive financial support from the Duchy of Lancaster. She is also thought to own an extensive jewellery collection.
Princess Anne
£50m
Andrew receives an annual Royal Navy pension of £20,000. As a working royal, he received around £250,000 a year, but those duties ceased in 2019 after the infamous Newsnight interview about his relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew
£5m
The Wessexes became full-time working royals in 2002, fulfilling duties on behalf of the Queen.The Earl has almost certainly inherited millions of pounds over the years from his grandmother and his late father.
Edward and Sophie
£10m
Most of the couple’s fortune stems from Harry’s inheritance from Princess Diana.  The Duchess was independently wealthy, receiving around $74,371 an episode for her stint on Suits.
Harry and Meghan
£20m
Since taking a step back from royal duties the couple have developed new ways to maintain their glamorous lifestyle. 
They have also signed a deal to make programs with Netflix.
A lucrative deal with Spotify to make podcasts may deliver as much as $AUD30.61 million.
