King Charles III, $600 million
After his mother passed away in September 2022, King Charles III—the eldest child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip—became the oldest monarch to rule the United Kingdom. Charles had a $100 million net worth as the Prince of Wales, according to the Celebrity Net Worth website.
In addition to his work for The Firm, Charles was also active in a number of commercial enterprises, including the Charitable Foundation, which Prince William has subsequently taken over. Charles' net worth increased to $600 million after he ascended to the throne.
Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, $196 million
Louis Spencer has the opportunity to profit from a long-standing custom—inheritance. In fact, young Louis will be worth close to $200 million once he receives his father's fortune. Given that Louis is already financially secure on his own, that fortune belongs to both him and his father.
Louis Spencer has amassed a sizable money account through numerous profitable business ventures.

Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, $149 million
Prince Diana's youngest brother had a lucrative profession outside of being a royal and may have gotten a lot of his money from inheritance. Charles Spencer worked as a successful news correspondent for many years. He was employed by NBC and other television networks.
Additionally, the fact that he manages his money well doesn't hurt. He has become extremely wealthy on his own thanks to all of that.

Princess Royal Anne, worth $100 million
Anne, the only child of the Queen and Prince Phillip, has a special place in the Queen's heart. As a queen and an equestrian, Anne has had a long and successful career. She was able to fulfill her responsibility to the family and advance in the riding sports at the same time.
She was able to compete in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal because to her dedication. Her net worth currently rivals that of her elder brothers due to her role as Princess Royal as well as other incredible accomplishments.

Duke of York, Prince Andrew, $82 million
Prince Charles' younger brother Andrew has garnered attention of his own. Because of his highly public divorce from Sarah Ferguson, also known as Fergie, the Duchess of York, Andrew's name was prominent in the newspapers for a while. He was still able to concentrate on his business despite all the hullabaloo and bad press.
In addition to receiving a royal salary, he also accrued wealth through wise business decisions and transactions.

Lady Eliza Spencer, $74 million
Lady Eliza Spencer, another niece of the late Princess Diana, has amassed a sizable fortune. Her father made an effort to deny her and her sisters access to a lot of cash. The two youngest of his kids developed a taste for the finer things after gaining access to items he had planned to keep them anchored in.
Her and her sister Amelia like experiencing everything they can, which includes taking trips to far-off places and shopping for the newest trends.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, $65–$90 million
It should not be shocking that Archie, the infant son of Harry and Meghan, is already included on this outstanding list of wealthy British royals.
The child, who has only been alive for a short while, has already had a significant impact on the British economy. Months before his birth, he had already been the subject of conversation. It makes sense that everyone is watching Archie since that his parents have retired from their positions as senior royal members.

Princess Diana of Wales, $55 million
Princess Diana was the royal family's heart and soul for many years until she passed away, but she will always be remembered for her beauty and generosity. But later, Mary and Charles would part ways, with her receiving a very generous settlement. Her fortunes were only improved by the $22 million she received for the divorce.
She tragically passed away in a car accident and left her two young sons an equal share of her estate.

Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, $45,000 000
He frequently goes unnoticed because he is the Queen's youngest child. In fact, when pressed, the majority of people were unable to describe his appearance or even his job. He receives a salary as a royal, just like his well-known siblings, but he didn't want that to be his only source of income.
He enjoys putting in a lot of effort, and over the years, he has built up a sizable bankroll as a result.

Sophie Countess of Wessex, $45 million
Married Prince Edward and developed a close relationship with the Queen. They have drifted apart over time, though not for unpleasant reasons; rather, their relationship has suffered as a result of the kids' needs taking priority.
Although Sophie is a boss and has her own money, her husband is very wealthy. She is a self-sufficient woman because she has run her own business and held a position of prominence in PR.

Lady Louise Windsor, $45 million
Despite being only 19 years old, she is still able to compete financially with many members of her family. She really doesn't want to be the center of any attention, like most teenagers, and her parents make sure to avoid doing that.
She doesn't now have any access to her money, but once she reaches legal adulthood, she will have everything she needs.

Prince William, $40 million
Even though William won't become king for some time, he has already begun expanding his investment portfolio. His inheritance and monthly salary are just two of the sources of his net worth.
The fruits of his labor and the salary paid by British taxpayers are included in that sum of money. All of this adds up to make him a fairly wealthy King.
Prince Michael of Kent, $40 million
He is a major league royal, despite the fact that his name might not sound familiar. In contrast to the rest of the flock, Prince Michael, the Queen's cousin, has led a fairly sedate life.
Financially, he has gone through some difficult times, but with persistence, he has recovered. He recovered his balance, emerged from the pit, and restored his value.

Lady Gabriella Windsor, $40 million
Gabriella, the sister of Lord Fredericks, is no slouch when it comes to having zeros in her bank account. She has also made some money in the journalism industry, so it must run in their family.

Her net worth is unknown, however the majority estimate it to be in the 40 million dollar range.

Prince Harry, $25 million
Harry is accustomed to making headlines, whether it is for his past as a playboy or his most recent resignation from his royal duties. He understands how to make an impression. Harry receives a significant bequest from his mother, but he has also invested in his business to increase his wealth.
Although he and his new wife, Megan Markle, have opted to pull back from their responsibilities and concentrate on their family, their financial future remains uncertain. That entails becoming financially independent.
Princess Margaret, $25 million
Princess Margaret passed away in 2002, although she amassed a sizable fortune and a solid reputation throughout her lifetime. In her lifetime, she left her own distinct imprint on both the royal family and the world.
Although Margaret's personal connections were a complete mess, her financial situation wasn't quite as chaotic. She accumulated a significant net worth, yet she donated the vast majority of it to charity.
@Tragic Things About Princess Margaret/The List/YouTube.com
Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester, $25 million
Despite appearances, the Prince has a slight grudge. He has a history of griping about being the family member with the lowest income. Although most people might think he's crazy when they see his bank account.
This pauper among princes still has over 20 million dollars lying around thanks to his estate and the heirlooms in it.

The Honorable Lady Ogilvy, Princess Alexandra, $22 to $25 million
Quite the title! She has observed how she was pushed farther and farther down the line of succession, much like her brother Prince Michael, but it doesn't seem to bother her. Sadly, she lost her husband in 2004, leaving her with a sizeable inheritance. So her coffers are definitely full thanks to that and her own cash.
This will make it simple to maintain her hat collection, which must be impeccable given that her cousin is the Queen.

Zara Tindall, $20 million
The royal family and the equestrian community have long had a close relationship. From breeding horses through riding, and finally some very well-known people who have dominated the sport.

She has made a ton of money through endorsement deals with some of the biggest businesses in addition to the medal.

State dinners, international trips and the inauguration of the parliament are just some of them.
Lady Sarah Chatto $18 million

Norway's King Harald, $17.3 million
This article might sound strange, yet the King of the Nordic nation is related to the Queen and other UK Royals directly. He has plenty on his plate, so there is no way he could be next in line for the throne.
No matter where he chooses to lay his head in retirement, the King will be able to enjoy a beautiful, leisurely life even when he steps down.

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, $13 million
Many royal wives experience stress as a result of their position, but not this cheerful Dane. Birgitte enjoys being in the spotlight and sharing her life with her Prince Charming.

Kate Middleton, $10 million
Although the stunning wife of Prince William is new to the royal game, she has quickly mastered it. She has amassed a nice sum of change in a relatively short period of time. Her duties as the Duchess contribute to some of her ten million dollars. She does, however, also profit from the family business.
Party Pieces, a business owned by her family, generates some nice revenue for the Duchess.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, $10 million
The Queen's first cousin may not be as noticeable as the rest of the family, but he still has a significant role to play. Edward participates in numerous royal events and has a significant impact on numerous charities and other organizations.

Katharine, Duchess of Kent $10 million
This royal wife prefers to avoid the spotlight. Despite having a famous husband (though he also manages to avoid the spotlight pretty well), Prince Edward, she still makes very few public appearances.

James Viscount Severn, $10 million
The 15-year-royal old's career has already started. He has already held council with a number of very significant individuals and visits the Palace whenever he feels like it.

He will be a Viscount up until that point. This young man has a sizable net worth thanks to his position and the wealth of his family.

Princess Michael of Kent $8 million
This princess does have a given name, even though this is how she is frequently referred to in public and during official events. Marie Christine von Reibnitz is how her close friends and family refer to her. Many members of the royal family find the Princess to be somewhat divisive, but she doesn't let that stop her from leading a fulfilling life.
This royal lady, who is married to Prince Michael, may not be the richest royal, but she manages to make ends meet.

Queen Camilla, $5 million
The public's acceptance of Camilla as Charles' significant other may have taken some time. After all, she was replacing Diana, who was arguably the most adored royal of all time. She eventually found her rhythm, and people started to fall for her charms. Prince Charles was so taken with her allure that he decided against a prenup, so what is his is hers. However, this does not mean that she does not have her own wealth.
She actually has quite a nice nest egg, albeit not as much as other royals.
Meghan Markle, $5 million
The royal family has a contentious member named Megan Markle. Recently, she and her husband's choice to abdicate their responsibilities as members of the royal family has raised some eyebrows. She came into the situation very well off, so she doesn't need the money, though.
She might not have as much money, but she is a really smart lady and she will work it out.
Princess Beatrice of York, $5 million
Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie, but like many of the younger generation doesn't rely on her family's fortune to make her mark in the world. Smart and savvy when it comes to business and marketing, she built a name for herself in the corporate world by applying her skills.
The Princess has had a very fruitful career working as both an analyst and a consultant.
Princess Charlotte, $5 million
This Prince George's younger sister has some impact already. That indicates that she is capable of making money and has already surpassed her elder brother's resources. Everything this tiny princess wears suddenly becomes a must-have item for every little girl's wardrobe.
We'll simply have to wait and watch what this young fashion icon does when she gets older; there's lots of potential for her to develop.

Princess Eugenie of York, $5 million
Eugenie has chosen to work and receive a salary, but she is not particularly well-known. She desired a career separate from her royal duties, and she has given it to herself. Eugene advanced through the ranks to become an associate director at a highly esteemed art gallery.
She may not have as much money as her cousins, but she is undoubtedly content with the decisions she has made.
Lady Rose Gilman, $5 million
The daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester is Rose Gilman, née Windsor. This royal prefers to work in her chosen profession over performing royal duties.

Lady Charlotte Wellesley, $5 million
Lady Charlotte, the daughter of the Duke of Wellington, was a pretty well-off woman in her early years. Her family is very wealthy and descended directly from Queen Victoria.
Then, after getting married, her wealth only grew. She earned a respectable wage working as a photographer's assistant, so she doesn't need to wait for his money. Through business and investments, the couple has increased their net worth.

Jack Brooksbank, $4.7 million
Recent occupants of the three-bedroom Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace include Jack Brooksbank and Eugenie. Despite not having a university degree, Brooksbank is a wealthy businessman who throughout the years ran the nightclub Mahiki.
He currently serves as the beverage business Casamigos's European brand ambassador. In addition, he established Jack Brooksbank Ltd., a distributor. It must be made clear that the aforementioned sum represents the combined net worth that Jack and Eugenie share.

Prince George, $4 million
The firstborn child of William and Kate is already more valuable than his parents combined. Being the center of the world's attention allows this small boy to benefit from his position within the family. The young boy attends exclusive events, studies at the best institutions, and has fortunate parents.
It will be interesting to see how the Prince develops.

Autumn Phillips, $1 million to $5 million
Autumn Phillips, who has recently made headlines for what many people consider to be the wrong reasons, recently took a significant step further away from the royal family after divorcing her husband Peter. He had already met him after leaving McGill University, and he was Canadian.
Autumn had previously held jobs as a model, a bartender, and an actress. She eventually went on to start a career as a management consultant, which increased her wealth. She will undoubtedly become much wealthier in the future thanks to any divorce settlement.

Pippa Middleton, $1 million
Although technically not a royal, Kate Middleton's younger sister is undoubtedly royally connected. She made a grand entrance at her sister's wedding and quickly became the talk of the town. With that, she was accepted into the group and has since served as a stand-in for several occasions.
However, it is not how she became wealthy. Her family's business is the source of her wealth. She also recently wed into a highly wealthy and titled family, so she is doing great.

Lady Amelia Windsor, $1 million
Lady Amelia Windsor has put a lot of effort into accumulating her wealth. She has had to find a means to make money because she is not quite as close to the riches spring as her cousins William and Harry. She eventually made it to the fashion industry. Amelia has collaborated with numerous renowned fashion houses, including Dolce & Gabbana.
She is already affluent thanks to her work on the catwalk, and it appears that she will continue to get richer over time.

Sarah Duchess of York, $1 million
Fergie is one of the most well-known and notable members of the royal family, even after her divorce from Prince Andrew. Sarah's finances fluctuated depending on the jobs she could get after she was divorced from the family.
She has, however, evened it out over time and now has a cool million. There is also the fact that she owns a 17 million dollar chalet in Switzerland.

Daniel Chatto, $1 million
The husband of Sarah Chatto made his riches through acting in movies. He has appeared in many well-known films, including "A Christmas Carol." He still manages to avoid the spotlight while leading two high-profile lives. Except for premieres and when he is on the big screen.
He is hence unusual among both royals and celebrities.

Mia Grace Tindall, $500,000 to $1,000,000

Mia was thought to be worth between $500,000 and $1 million prior to 2019. It is also claimed that her net worth has increased since those estimates, despite the fact that she is not even in her double digits in terms of age. She appears to have a promising financial future.

Lady Kitty Spencer, $100,000
The niece of Princess Diana has put a lot of effort into expanding her clientele despite not being a part of the main line of the royal family. Her net worth has increased as a result, surpassing even some of her famous relatives.
With the inheritance from her family, she did have a solid start, but she has also made some excellent money walking the catwalks. The most well-known designers and companies in the world have used Lady Spencer as a model.
Savannah Phillips, $100, 000
The eldest child of Peter and Autumn Phillips is also a respectablely wealthy woman. Savannah needs to be listed even though she is one of the less well-known royals on this list and does not have any special royal responsibilities.
The 10-year-old still has an impressive $100,000 in her bank account despite not getting a direct wage from the royal family. Savannah will always be in and around the royal family, despite the current period of uncertainty over her family's standing as a result of her parents' divorce.
