Princess Charlotte is expected to surpass her older brother, Prince George, in terms of wealth, despite the fact that George is the heir to the British throne. Although George is second in line, after his father Prince William and his grandfather King Charles III, Charlotte is predicted to have a greater financial impact in the future, based on their potential as celebrity children.
If the royal children were no longer bound by their titles and could monetize their public personas, Charlotte would likely be significantly wealthier than her brother. Both Charlotte and George would still contribute billions to their already wealthy family, but Charlotte’s earnings are projected to outpace George’s due to her unique status.
Research by Outdoor Toys estimates Princess Charlotte’s future net worth at around £3.9 billion, which would surpass that of George, whose estimated worth is £2.8 billion. This difference is attributed to something called the “Kate Middleton effect,” named after their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate Middleton is known for her timeless fashion sense, which has a notable influence on consumer trends. Whenever Kate wears a particular outfit, it often leads to a spike in sales, with British fashion brands benefiting by an estimated £1 billion annually as a result of her fashion choices.
Princess Charlotte, seen as a future fashion icon, is expected to follow her mother’s path, and her potential influence on consumer trends could generate substantial income. Although Charlotte is a member of the royal family, which limits her ability to leverage her influence in the same way as other celebrities, her potential as a style influencer is undeniable. In contrast, the fashion choices of male royals, including Prince George, do not have the same appeal. While George’s worth is still considerable, he does not have the same cultural impact when it comes to fashion and consumerism.
Despite this, there’s no reason to worry about Prince George’s financial future. As the future king, he is more than wealthy enough and won’t struggle to afford luxuries like sweets or gifts for friends. However, it is Charlotte who is expected to have a more substantial influence on fashion and purchasing habits in the future.
