“Will Bax, chief executive of the duchy, said the next decade would be an era of change after William decided the duchy ‘shouldn’t just exist to own land. It should first and foremost exist to have a positive impact on the world’.

[…] The majority of William’s private income comes from the more than £20 million a year in profit he receives from his 54,000-hectare private estate, called the Duchy of Cornwall.

The £1.1 billion holding, spread across 21 counties, has been bestowed on every heir to the throne since the 14th century.”
