More housing and environmental funding could follow from major changes to Prince William’s private estate holdings. Reports on Monday said the Prince of Wales will sell 20% of the Duchy of Cornwall over the next decade to raise £500 million for projects linked to homes and nature. The estate, worth more than £1 billion, provides William with approximately £23 million in yearly private income.
