This new responsibility will see him take on a role traditionally held by his father, Prince William, as the Duke of Cornwall, and manage a vast estate in an area renowned for its lively party scene.
Prince George’s life has been meticulously planned since his infancy, with the primary goal of preparing him for his future as the King of the United Kingdom.
However, before reaching that monumental position, George will first inherit a significant title and role—the Duke of Cornwall.
This title comes with the inheritance of the enormous Duchy of Cornwall estate, which spans an impressive 135,000 acres of land across the UK.
For years, the Duchy of Cornwall has provided income for the heir apparent, and in the same vein, Prince George will one day inherit this responsibility, just as his father, Prince William, did when he became the Prince of Wales.
In a new investigation carried out by Channel 4’s *Dispatches* and *The Sunday Times*, it was revealed that both the Duchy of Lancaster (which provides income for the reigning monarch) and the Duchy of Cornwall have made millions of pounds through contracts with public bodies and charities.
Despite the complexity of royal life, Prince William is determined to shield his children, especially George, from undue publicity and public scrutiny. The couple has adopted a deliberate strategy of keeping George, Charlotte, and Louis as far removed from the limelight as possible.
The royal family’s longstanding connection to the Duchy of Cornwall—spanning generations—continues to be an essential part of the royal inheritance. As Prince George grows older, he will likely take on an increasingly prominent role in the management of the estate, preparing him for the day when he ascends to the throne.
