Behind the palaces, jewels, and multi-million-dollar weddings, the royal family is just like us.
Of course, the billion dollar fortune certainly sets them apart.
However, this stream of income isn’t as direct as you may think.

The Crown Estate includes a massive portfolio of the family’s holdings and properties around the UK.
In 2019, the grant reached a cool $107 million that funded their expenses.
The outlet explains that the sovereign grant covers things like palace maintenance, royal travel, and employee payroll.

Other expenses, like public ceremonies and such, come from other sources.
The outlet reports that the family received around $26 million in 2018 from this source.
Yet another Duchy also lines the Windsors' pockets.
