But Prince William and Kate Middleton's fortunes will rise even more when Prince Charles becomes king. When that happens, Prince William will automatically replace his father as the duke of Cornwall and thus be entitled to the profits of the Duchy of Cornwall. To give you an idea of the wealth we're talking about: in 2016, Prince Charles received a profit of Â£20.5 million ($26.4 million) from the Duchy. It's like winning the lottery every year.
