Even though Camilla is married to Charles now, she wasn’t accepted by the Royal Family. The public also remembered her as the woman who broke Prince and Princess of Wales. However, no one can deny that she became a crucial part of the family. Camilla has taken full-time royal duties nowadays- she is a president or patron of over 90 charities and is an active member in organizations that support health, literacy, victims of rape and sexual abuse as well as domestic violence. However, a little is known about the life of Duchess of Cornwall before she met Prince Charles.

Prince Charles’ net worth is much higher, around $400 million. However, they appear to have no prenuptial agreement. Most of his incomes are from the Duchy of Cornwall, and he is also the owner of 135,000 acres of land in southern England. That includes farms, residential and commercial properties as well as natural resources and forests. This duchy was created in 1337 by Edward III with the purpose to provide income for the oldest son of the monarch. This makes William the second in line. The Prince of Wales gives around $6 million to his sons to cover household expenses and other activities.
