Britain's richest royals, ranked by wealth

The personal fortunes of the British royals

The British royal family oversees assets worth billions. From Buckingham Palace to the Crown Jewels, these treasures are held in trust for the nation and technically don't belong to the Windsors. 'The Firm' does own Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, a portfolio of other properties, jewels, art, racehorses, and a lot more besides. But these prized private possessions are not equally distributed among the family, and some members are much wealthier than others...

Princess Eugenie: up to $4.5 million

Princess Eugenie, Prince Andrew and Fergie's youngest daughter, is estimated to be worth up to $4.5 million. Eugenie isn't a working royal and so doesn't receive any taxpayer money, but she does have a job as a director for the contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth, which likely comes with a handsome salary.

The princess has also benefited to the tune of several million pounds from trust funds set up by the late Queen and Queen Mother.

Princess Beatrice: up to $4.5 million

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were taken off the Sovereign Grant list of royals who receive money from the UK government when they graduated from university, which in Beatrice's case was in 2011.

After working various jobs, including a sales assistant gig in department store Selfridges, Beatrice eventually landed a no doubt high-paying role at New York AI-focused tech firm Afiniti as Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy. Like her sister, Princess Beatrice has family trust funds to fall back on.

Lady Amelia Windsor: up to $5 million

The granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Lady Amelia Windsor is a lowly 43rd in the line of succession but has a much higher profile than the typical minor royal courtesy of her glittering career as a fashionista. Lady Amelia has worked behind the scenes for Chanel, Alaïa, and Bulgari and modeled for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana.

Her estimated net worth is as much as $5 million. Still, that figure could be significantly higher if reports that she makes $1 million a year from brand deals and collaborations are correct.

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester: up to $5 million

Worth up to an estimated $5 million, Danish-born Birgitte married into the royal family after tying the knot with Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. She is a full-time working royal alongside her husband.

According to the UK's Guardian newspaper, the couple has received $15 million from the Sovereign Grant and its predecessor, the Civil List, to fund their royal engagements over the years.

Queen Camilla: $5 million

Independently wealthy before she and Prince Charles got married, Camilla Parker-Bowles benefited from a bumper inheritance courtesy of one of her grandparents.

Her prized asset is Ray Mill House, the estate in Wiltshire she bought in 1994 for $1.1 million following her divorce. That's over $2 million in today's money, and the property is likely to be worth even more now.

Princess Michael of Kent: $5 million

From one controversial royal to another. Princess Michael of Kent has faced accusations of racism and reportedly has an arrogant demeanour, earning her the nickname 'Princess Pushy'.

Gently mocked by the Queen for being “far too grand for the House of Windsor,” the central European aristocrat, who has worked as an interior designer and author, is certainly not the grandest in terms of personal wealth, with an estimated net worth of $5 million.

Catherine, Princess of Wales: $10 million

Kate Middleton might have been a commoner when she married Prince William in 2011, but she was no pauper. Kate is thought to be the recipient of a trust fund set up by the moneyed Middletons and has amassed some impressive assets as a princess, including her late mother-in-law's engagement ring and a designer wardrobe worth over $1 million. 

According to credible estimates, the Princess of Wales is worth $10 million. However, her sister Pippa, who is married to a billionaire, is richer, with a fortune estimated at $50 million.

Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh: $10 million

Unusually for a working royal, Prince Edward once had a private-sector job heading his own TV production company, but stepped down in 2002 amid accusations he was trying to cash in on his royal status.

Over the years, Edward and his wife Sophie have received an estimated $8.7 million from the Sovereign Grant, and Edward's net worth has been estimated at $10 million.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh: $10 million

The Duchess of Edinburgh has also worked outside of the royal family, but her PR career collapsed in 2001 after she was caught making disparaging remarks about members of the royal household and other public figures in a newspaper sting.

The following year, Sophie devoted herself full-time to royal duties, and the scandal has long been forgotten. Like her husband, she is reportedly worth $10 million today.

Prince Edward, Duke of Kent: $10 million

The late Queen's first cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, has reportedly received $24 million from the Civil List and Sovereign Grant since he started royal duties in 1960.

The duke, whose wife of 64 years, Katharine, recently passed away, lives in a grand residence within Kensington Palace. He's believed to be worth some $10 million when inheritances and heirlooms are taken into account.

Anne, Princess Royal: $10 million

Princess Anne regularly tops the hardest-working royal list and has received over $21 million over the years to carry out her official duties.

In terms of big-ticket assets, the Princess Royal has an enviable collection of jewelry likely worth millions, and she owns the magnificent Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, which the Queen bought her as a wedding gift in 1976.

Lady Sarah Chatto: up to $18 million

The late Princess Margaret's children, Lady Sarah Chatto and Viscount Linley, reportedly inherited the bulk of her estate, valued at $10.4 million in 2002. That's the equivalent of over $18 million today.

The siblings auctioned off 800 of their mother's belongings at a Christie's sale in 2006 to cover an inheritance tax bill of almost $4 million ($6m today), netting them nearly $19 million ($30m today).

Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester: $16 million to $25 million

As mentioned earlier, the Duke of Gloucester and his wife Birgitte receive money from the Sovereign Grant to cover their royal duties.

The late Queen's first cousin and his wife also benefit from a grace and favour cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, having downsized from a larger apartment. They put Barnwell Manor, their Northamptonshire country estate, on the market with Savills for $5.7 million. The sale undoubtedly provided a substantial boost to the couple's cash reserves.

Peter Phillips: $20 million

Princess Anne wanted as normal a life as possible for her children, hence her decision to decline titles for them. This break with tradition has undoubtedly worked in their favor, with both children forging highly successful careers.

Peter Phillips is worth an estimated $20 million. He's held various high-level business roles and currently heads his own sports management company. The royal has managed to stay clear of scandal, though he did spark a minor backlash after appearing in a milk ad in China, facing criticism for 'milking' his royal connections.

David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon: $25 million to $39 million

Formerly styled Viscount Linley, David Armstrong-Jones, the 2ndEarl of Snowdon, has said that money drives him. The son of the late Princess Margaret, he ran a successful high-end carpentry business for years until he finally downed tools in 2022.

However, the bedrock of the royal's fortune, estimated at up to $39 million, is the legacy he received from his mother and the proceeds from the 2006 sale of her valuables.

Zara Tindall: share of $40 million

As well as lacking a royal title, Zara Tindall is not a working royal.

This means Princess Anne's daughter has had full rein to pursue a successful career as an Olympic medal-winning equestrian and has raked in cash from big-money sponsorship deals and endorsements. Estimates have put the sporty royal's net worth at around $20 million.

Mike Tindall: share of $40 million

As mentioned, Mike and Zara Tindall share a $40 million fortune.

The former international rugby player has been on something of a money-making spree in recent years. He earned an estimated $400,000 from a UK Domino's Pizza advert he starred in alongside erstwhile teammate James Haskell, and an estimated $200,000 for appearing on UK reality TV show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Prince Michael of Kent: $40 million

The late Queen's first cousin, Prince Michael of Kent had a long period in the military before pursuing a business career that has helped him accrue an estimated net worth of $40 million. The prince's professional life was largely uncontroversial until 2021, when he was criticized for alleged close ties to the Russian government.

Considered a non-working royal, Prince Michael and his wife came under fire in 2002 when it emerged they were paying a tiny rent for their lavish Kensington Palace apartment. The couple eventually agreed to pay the market rate.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex: share of $60 million

No longer a working royal, Prince Harry has significantly boosted his net worth since moving to the US in 2020. Before 'Megxit', his wealth primarily consisted of the estimated $13.4 million inherited from Princess Diana's estate and $18.8 million left in trust funds by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.

On his 40th birthday, Harry reportedly received around $10.5 million from this trust fund, which the Queen Mother set up to distribute portions of her estate to her great-grandchildren at key life stages.

Lucrative book, podcast, and TV deals have further increased Harry’s fortune, with he and Meghan’s $14.7 million Montecito mansion being their largest asset. Combined, the couple's net worth is estimated at $60 million.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex: share of $60 million

Meghan Markle is said to have been worth more than $5 million when she met Prince Harry, thanks to her role in TV drama Suits and lifestyle blog The Tig. As mentioned, the couple's combined fortune is now estimated to stand at $60 million.

The couple's biggest coup since quitting as working royals in 2020 is the $100 million deal they signed with Netflix through their firm Archewell Productions, but their $20 million contract with Spotify was unceremoniously cancelled. 

William, Prince of Wales: $120 million

Prince William's estimated net worth stands at $120 million. Topping up the money left to him by his mother and great-grandmother, the heir to the throne was granted the Duchy of Cornwall upon his grandmother the Queen's death in 2022, providing him with an annual income of $8 million.

The Prince of Wales boasts an array of high-value assets too, including the grand Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which he owns with his wife.

King Charles III: $860 million

King Charles was left the bulk of the late Queen's estate completely tax-free. In 2023, The Guardian carried out what it called the first-ever forensic analysis of the Monarch's private wealth. It uncovered palaces, castles, and estates worth $445 million, including Sandringham and Balmoral, world-class art, car and stamp collections, opulent jewels, cash courtesy of the Duchy of Lancaster, and much more.

Tallied up, the analysis puts the King's net worth at a staggering $2.4 billion. That said, The Sunday Times Rich List 2025 estimate is significantly lower at $860 million.
