Elegant portrait of Kate Middleton at Prince Philip’s funeral.
Prince Philip, the 95-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died on April 9, 2021 at the age of 99. The royal family held a memorial service in his honor on March 29, 2022. Kate Middleton and her daughter Princess Charlotte dressed elegantly for Prince Philip’s funeral. Prince William, 39, and Kate Middleton, 40, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are joined by two of their three children, Prince George, 8, and Princess Charlotte, 8, 6. Three-year-old Prince Louis was not present. Kate wore a black polka dot dress from Alessandra Rich and a hat from Lock & Co, a pair of black suede boots from Gianvito Rossi, a nude Russell & Bromley envelope and a pair of black hatters.
The Duchess paid £1,496 for an Alessandra Rich dress and £1,496 for a Lock & Co hat.
Princess Charlotte wore a pair of blue lacquered ballerinas and black ballet flats and dressed as Il Porticciolo under a dark blue coat from Amaia Kids for £140 for €79. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wore dark blue suits with matching ties.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Prince Philip left his heirs with a personal fortune of an estimated €25 million. But other sources speak of 12 million euros.
Part of this capital comes from an annual subsidy of about 400,000 euros from the States for the fulfillment of public duties. This allowance was funded by the taxpayer and paid out to Prince Philip until his retirement. At the age of 96, the Duke retired in 2017. The queen, estimated at around 500 million euros, shared the annual income from the Duchy of Lancaster with her husband. The main function of the Duke of Lancaster is to generate income for the king, who has held the title since 1399.
The Duchy of Lancaster is estimated to be worth about €600 million and the Queen earns about €24 million in annual revenue. In addition to these annual dividends, the Crown Estate operates a number of properties, as does the Royal Collection Trust, which manages art collections. The fortune of the British royal family is estimated at around one billion euros. Philip turned 100 in June 2021. The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral took place on April 17, 2021.
