What is the Royal Family's wealth?

The British Royal Family holds significant wealth, primarily through inherited estates and investments, distinct from individual members' personal earnings. While Meghan Markle's fortune is her own, the broader Royal Family's finances are complex, involving public funding for official duties and private income from sources like the Duchy of Cornwall.
