Prince William, who serves as the 25th Duke of Cornwall, is expected to sell a portion of the Duchy of Cornwall’s property holdings over the next decade. Multiple outlets report that the duchy plans to dispose of around 20% (described as roughly a fifth) of its property portfolio, which covers about 128,000 acres. The estimated scale of the operation is linked to the duchy’s role in providing a private income to William, reported as nearly £23 million per year. Reporting also says the potential proceeds—figures vary by outlet—are intended to be reinvested in projects including additional housing and environmental or “green” initiatives. Coverage characterizes the planned uses as including development of new homes, expansion of renewable energy production, and wildlife or nature restoration. One report also describes a possible investment figure of £500 million, though other outlets summarize the intention more generally as funding housing and nature-related programmes. Several sources note that William took control of the duchy in 2022 after King Charles became king.
