But the royal family also gets a cut: They receive an allowance from the Treasury known as the “Sovereign Grant,” equal to 25% of the net profit for the financial year two years earlier. In 2022, the Sovereign Grant amounted to $99.6 million, based on the Crown Estate's net profit in the 2019-20 financial year.
5. How much money did King Charles inherit from the queen? Forbes reports that the queen had a whopping $500 million (!!!) in personal investments, so it's believed that all those earnings were passed down to King Charles after her death.
Which money will change under King Charles? Though we'll soon get a glimpse of what our new banknotes will look like, they aren't expected to enter circulation until mid-2024. All four denominations — £5, £10, £20 and £50 — are set to be updated with the new designs.
It's estimated to be worth over a billion dollars and provides a yearly income that came to $24 million in 2021.

The royal salary:
Queen Elizabeth II received income from a taxpayer fund known as the Sovereign Grant that allocated £86 million for 2021 and 2022 for official travel, property maintenance, and operating or maintenance costs of the Queen's household.
Kate is a “working royal” but does not earn a salary. When not raising her three children, her day-to-day schedule is filled with official engagements where she represents the family and monarchy along with her husband. Although she has no income, per se, Middleton has few expenses.
The simple answer is No. Australia does not pay a cent for the maintenance or security of the Sovereign.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan no longer receive money from the Royal Family, and earn their income from commercial arrangements.
Her Majesty leaves behind over $500 million in personal assets from her 70 years on the throne, which Prince Charles will inherit when he is crowned king.
As for Australia, the Royal Australian Mint expects new 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins bearing King Charles' likeness will enter circulation in 2023.
Charles will not be changing his name, as was previously speculated. He will be known as King Charles III. Charles was nine when he was given the title the Prince of Wales. He's now 73, and ascended to the throne immediately following his mother Queen Elizabeth's death today.
He will not become king until his mother, Queen Elizabeth, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires or dies. When either of these happen, Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son Prince William.
As king, Charles inherits the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate of commercial, agricultural and residential assets owned by royalty since the Middle Ages. The monarch is entitled to use its income and largely uses it to meet official expenditure.
The Royal Family aren't liable to pay tax, but some choose to in some cases. For example Queen Elizabeth voluntarily paid taxes on: Capital Gains profits. Selected income.
"I've got what my mum left me and without that, we wouldn't have been able to do this," Harry told Oprah in March 2021. "She saw it coming, and I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process." Prince Harry inherited an estimated $10 million from Princess Diana's estate after her death on August 31, 1997.
According to Mirror Online, it has been reported that the overall deal is worth up to $100m. However, the number hasn't been confirmed by either Harry and Meghan or Netflix so far.

What is Prince William's Salary? Back when he worked with the Royal Air Force, William earned a salary of $73,000 a year. Nowadays one of his main sources of income is via the Duchy of Cornwall, which made profits of $26 million in 2020 and $24 million in 2021.
All Australian money bearing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II remains legal tender, and is likely to circulate for many years to come. Ideologically speaking, the next chapter in Australian coinage is open. What message will the portrait and imagery of Charles III communicate?
A majority of Australians support ending their ties with the British monarchy, and replacing that with a republic. Politically, republicanism is officially supported by the Labor Party and the Greens, and is also supported by some Liberal Party members of the Australian parliament.
