What is 'personal income'?
'Personal income' refers to money an individual receives for their own use, to spend as they wish. In this story, Prince William previously received the annual rent from the disused prison as personal income. By choosing to no longer take it, he's effectively redirecting that money from his own pocket to the Princetown Community Fund, benefiting the wider public.
