So what are the royal family’s salaries, how do they earn them, and where does the money come from? What was the queen’s net worth before her death, and how are Meghan and Harry making money now? Here’s what we know, including how these funds costs the average taxpayer in England. As with most things royals-related, the answer is complicated. The royal family is paid through a mix of public and private money—that’s on top of net worths that include inherited wealth, a significant real estate portfolio, and other assets.
Members of the Royal Family often carry out official duties in the UK and overseas where the Monarch cannot be present in person, such as State funerals or national festivities, or undertake visits to strengthen Britain’s diplomatic and economic relations.
