Prince William Income Tax Bill: Sunday Times Reports £7 Million

The Sunday Times reported that Prince William faces a prince william income tax bill of £7 million, largely because of his Duchy of Cornwall earnings. It said he is one of Britain's top taxpayers on that basis.

The paper's investigation said the Duke's bill stems from income tied to the Duchy of Cornwall, the estate linked to the Prince of Wales. That figure places him among Britain's top taxpayers, according to the report.

Duchy Land And Public Bodies

The investigation also said the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster, which is awarded to the monarch, make millions by charging the army, the navy, the NHS and schools to use their land. That detail connects the tax figure to how the two land-holding entities generate income.

On the same day, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of Princess Charlotte on social media to mark her 11th birthday. The birthday post put William back in public view as the tax report drew attention to the scale of royal income from Duchy holdings.
