The second in line to the British throne will become eligible to be awarded his share of money from the estate of his late mother, Princess Diana – who died in a car crash in 1997 – when he reaches the milestone age on 21 June.
While William and his wife Catherine rent a cottage in Wales and have an apartment at Kensington Palace, royal insiders believe they may use the money to buy a country home close to William’s father, Prince Charles’, Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire.
A source told the Daily Mail: “It will be quite a handy sum if he wants to buy his and Catherine’s first family house. What else would he need the money for?”
Diana’s estate is comprised of stocks and shares, jewellery, cash from her divorce settlement from Charles, dresses and other personal belongings at her Kensington Palace apartment.
