Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, does not receive a salary. As a member of the British Royal Family, she is supported by the Sovereign Grant, which is a public fund that finances the official duties of the monarch and other members of the royal family.
The Sovereign Grant is calculated as a percentage of the profits from the Crown Estate, a collection of lands and properties owned by the British monarchy. The amount of the grant varies each year, but it has been around £86.3 million in recent years.
The Royal Family uses the Sovereign Grant to cover expenses such as:
- Staff salaries: This includes the salaries of staff who work for the Queen, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other members of the Royal Family.
- Travel expenses: This includes the cost of travel for official engagements and visits.
- Maintenance of royal residences: This includes the cost of maintaining Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and other royal properties.
- Official engagements: This includes the cost of hosting events and receptions.
While Kate Middleton does not receive a salary, she is provided with a substantial amount of funding to support her official duties as a member of the Royal Family.
