The British royal family is very rich, but not as rich as you might think. And that’s because of a centuries-old model for how they make their income - and taboos about earning a private income outside of their official duties.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are breaking free from the rules of how royals make money, which just might be a savvy financial decision.

Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my consultant. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards.

The royal family did not; they lost their formal power after the Glorious Revolution-if not the English Civil War.
Mehul Gera The UK did not get rich through any legitimate and non-violent pursuits instead they ran grand schemes and simultaneously accumulated wealth through practically stealing products in a system where they would tax the citizens and then use that money to buy products which then it would be practically free and they would export for a even greater markup. The Uk just scammed to their way of wealth.
Mehul Gera Remind me why your upset the a nation isn’t teaching its children to despise it? It’s not like England is unique in this practice
Mehul Gera You realize the Koh-I-Noor didn’t originally come from India right? They stole it from someone else

Two factions; the royalists those for and the republicans(I think) against. So that's from different camps.

Mr. Nonsense The Queen does pay taxes. How much? That I do not know.
Chloe wilson Actually she pays income tax
@@sparx180 the queen dosen't have to pay a cent of tax if she doesn't want to. She does voluntarily pay just enough taxes to make herself look good. However there is no reason to believe that she's paying her fair share as her tax returns are effectively top secret. If the queen was paying her fair share then the first thing she would do is send her tax return to the times of London. On top of all of that there is no reason to believe that Charles or who ever comes after him will continue to pay any taxes. A recent report said the the royal family is more secretive than MI-5. The British freedom of information act specifically exempts the entire royal family from all freedom of information act requests. So basically the royal family has a license to steal.
The grant is only 5%. They’re giving up close to nothing(for them) to be independent. Seems like a bargain to me
yea, good decision lifestyle-wise as well as financially.
That 5% worths in million
wow, you made a great point, i actually thought they would be losing majority of their wealth to be independent, turns out it is only 5%, if losing 5% of wealth can exchange for
- not having to do all the diplomatic & charity work as a royal
- get to lift the restrictions & limits to further commercialize their brand (eg Disney), and thus expand their wealth
- gain more self authority in deciding what to do with their fame/brand
then i guess it is a good bargain
Sometimes peace of mind is worth more
So we basically we pay for some already rich people to be richer while doing nothing
maybe you do but i dont
They make more money back through tourism and the overseas territories we benefit from are in their name. Not to mention the diplomatic benefits from the Commonwealth.
they do many things, more public engagement to the public than US president and its cabinet
The royals bring in money. The crown estate brings in more money to the gov than the pay for the royals is. Not to mention the publicity the uk gets from them

There's a flaw in this. If the monarchy is removed, the House of Windsor will just reclaim all the crown estate from the UK government, given the fact that they haven't given up ownership of the Crown Estate. They just give up the revenue from the estate to the UK government as per the treaty, and get sovereign grant instead. The government doesn't own the crown estate. It is owned by the House of Windsor. In case the monarchy is abolished, the treaty becomes null and void, and the Windsors suddenly have on their hand a multi billion dollar estate.
There's a flaw in that argument, which is that they don't have any real power. A bill abolishing the monarchy would also say 'the Crown Estate now belongs to the state in full' parliament is sovereign, they wouldn't have any way to stop this

How does royal family make money
Well fellas they don't, actually we do for them.
@@xanderliptak And those that the people own, given them by George III in a business deal that obligated them to pay for the upkeep of the royals. How much income is generated for the British people today by those estates? If the amount is more than what they spend on the royals, they are making a net profit from having them around, if the amount is less, then yes, you are making money for them.
I mean, the alternative is that they step down and the British economy loses billions in tourist money. The reason why Windsor castle makes far more than any other European castle is that there is an actual monarch living in there. If the royals would step down, your taxes would go up, not down. They make money for you, not the other way around.
Giving new meaning to the term, Welfare Queen
@@anonymous-eg4tj No, the royal family does not attract that many tourists. Most visitors come to see art and history museums, or to do shopping.

@@HaydenLau. source?
@@HaydenLau. Technically correct but not really
Just a quick correction, the king didn't sell the crown lands they signed away the rights to the profits.
The fact that we STILL pay for this family is absolutely sickening.
They send more money to the treasury from the profits of the Crown Estate than than they take in security and upkeep costs. Technically, they’re paying for us.
Yes and no. You could say that maintaining a heritage site is pointless since they're just a collection of old buildings but they do bring in money through tourism. And the same applies to the monarchy. Their presence does massively boost the UK economy and I think actively hating them isn't really going to do anything since its not like they're colonizing countries like they used to do.
I think what is sad is if people are actually obsessed with the royalty too much. They're just Kardashians that actually benefit the UK economy and also sometimes do charity.

Europe has a metric shitload of castles, all of them combined probably dont bring as many tourists as buckingham palace does. Its like the video said, its the brand that carries weight.
Yeah but those weren’t built by the Royal Family for the Royal Family. The amount of money the British government gains from tourism to specific Royal sites far exceeds that which they pay the Queen.

@Hernando Malinche It's ridiculous in the way that American CEOs are actually that rich. It's more ridiculous that the US has a system that allows CEOS to become that rich in the first place with the lack of regulations and allowing insider trading thru stock buybacks. This system focuses heavily on quarterly projections and earnings and is the reason why there is always conflict between management and workers, because the US system allows companies to be shaped to focus on the people at the top instead of putting equal value on every employee.

Even Jared is in on the action: he leased his Billion dollar loss of an investment in 666 Fifth Avenue to the Qataris, who had mysteriously been blockaded by the Saudis just prior. I would say that if Trump gets re-elected, he will be the second richest person in the world, after Putin.
@Hernando Malinche I mean it could go to a lot more useful things...
Atlas aït Amazal 400k a year. So 1.6 million for four years.
the royal family at this point are social media influencers no different than Kim Kardashian.
Hulagu Watch your mouth. You are not going to see members of the royal family in the second Elizabethan age, present, shaking their butts and talk with no manners on TV shows or whatever.
Those are two different levels of mass communication.
@@joycerouget2379 They both make money without adding value. I.e. at this point in their "careers", they are famous/rich for being rich/famous
PSA: That is not how you pronounce Balmoral. It's moral not morale.
I have lived in UK for 13 years, working 6 years of those 13. I make about 30,000 per year. After tax that ended up about 1900 a month. I put away about 600 in saving, rent is 500, utilities and bills about 300, council tax is about 100, so I have about 300, 400 pounds per month for everything else. Trust me, life is hard in UK for average people. Democracy doesn't make an impact.
Sorry, but they don't make money, they receive money.
Well, it is like if your dad is Bill Gates and you just inherit his money.Some of their ancestors did tremendous work for the nation.But I am talking only about private estate,not taxes.
Nah, that's only semi-true. As explained in video, mostly capital gains from estates. When yuor're that rich the money makes itself from compound interest.
@@afterall6418 Can you give an example of one of the Queen's ancestors who did tremendous "work" for the nation? I can't name any.
Michael Elizabeth the first, Edward the confessor, William the conqueror,, Richard lion heart, George the third
Most recently George the sixth and many others.
@@Michael-jh9fd well the first king of Britten is the one that did the "work" of conquering
"Am I pronouncing that right, 'duchies'?" Has to be one of the most on brand Americanisms I've heard in a long time.
She should have asked him how to pronounce Balmoral correctly.
I am always asking people from other countries mostly Mexico as we have a large population in utah if I am saying words right .
I'm American and I knew how to pronounce it since 10th grade. Maybe she skipped some history classes?
0:02 She's like "don't mess up, don't mess up!"
The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can.
Am definitely stealing this, you are genius.💯
Vox : How the British royal family makes money?
British taxpayers : Are we a joke to you?
The money that the Royal family makes from properties they own is larger than their expenses.
And inheritance money
@@bnbmike4731 tbh that inheretence money is probs all gone
@@notashton8689 "the Royal family makes?" I think you mean the British Ministry of Arts, Heritage and Tourism which is responsible for the revenue generated from all the palaces. They're the ones organising the finance, the design, the maintenance, etc. What does the royal family do? other than live there and wave at the crowds once in a while?
Abhishek Mhatre no I’m talking about real property that the royals legitimately own and make money off of that goes back to the state. Approximately 200mil pounds a year
Love that pronunciation of Balmoral 😂😂 Bal-Mor-Al 😂😂
@@jacobsherlockperalta7551 BAL-morel
Americans..
@@GenGaara I could have swear they say Bal-Mor-Al in The Crown
@@GenGaara A shortened version of Baal, their beloved deity of child sacrifice.
Been born a royalty luckiest thing ever
There is no reason to even have a Monarchy.
you forgot to mention that some of Australia's tax money goes into their pockets too
Because she is your sovereign too. She represents Australia and other commonwealth nations as well.
Well yes but actually no
Just when the monarch is on the land of the Commonwealth of Australia as head of state that the tax money is involved but when she is not there (most of the time) the money goes to her representatives, the viceroys of the land ( the Governors and general governor)
@@joycerouget2379 Does she have lands in Australia? If so, she receives revenue from it and you pay taxes to her.
By living off of other people
.....they literally moved all the homeless people so they could have a wedding
Sickening tbh
@Andrew savings guide Guyana look it up
Yes I remember reading that about Kate and Williams wedding it’s terrible
Well technically they didn't, I believe the government did
It sounds like you're talking about the government of any country
Impressive work.
Another way that the Royal Family earn money: They own a huge park in and around Windsor called the Great Park which is owned by the Crown Estate. They charge a lot of money for people to live on, visit or build on the park. They also own a few restaurants and cafes by the park. (They just raised the car parking prices so I’m quite upset about that)
“How does the British royal family make money?” - I’m honestly not sure I really want to know.. my poor taxes 😢
The public doesn't pay for them. In 1760 King George III turned over the vast majority of his land and wealth in a trust called the Crown Estate. In exchange, the royal family receives 15% of the annual profits earned from this trust. The remaining 85% goes back into the Treasury. They work, pay taxes and operate at a profit
@@golden-63 However, those assets they sold were never really theirs to begin with.
Imagine that Donald Trump declares that he now owns the White House & United States Capitol [the building that houses Congress] and starts charging rent.
And now imagine that a few centuries into the Future and the Trump family needs money and turns it back over to the nation, for a lump sum and a percentage of the money they used to charge for rent...
@@davidhollenshead4892 Those assets were always theirs. The Crow Estate belongs to the British monarch as a corporation sole, making it the "Sovereign's public estate", which is neither government property nor part of the monarch's private estate. Pre-1760 it was private property.
@@davidhollenshead4892 In reality, those assets were the personal property of the monarch.
golden63 that land was paid by the people so no we the people pay for them with all there facilities and assets
The first thing the happy couple did, being so concerned with climate change, accepted $1 million from an oil company just to show up at an event. They're also going to accept security detail paid for by the Canadian tax payers offered by our wonderful prime minister, I think I heard it's $350, 000 a year
Nell Raven 350 000 is nothing, especially for a rich nation like canada
@@ink7761 thats alot for doing nothing. All you have to do to earn it is free load as much as possible. What do you have to do to earn 350k? Oh wait, its not even a possibility
Harry should just be strapped. Ain't nobody going to be capped by a red headed prince from England.

Bal-moral 💚
Quality research right there!
@@stewartstewartstewart 🤣🤣🤣
Really wish she’d looked up how to say things before she, you know, made a news video about them
Bal means p*nis in bengali
But the word Duchies confused her to look it up?
British citizens: how much in taxes must we pay?
British Gov: Yes!
They don't pay that much taxes compared to other European countries. And they get free health care and affordable college education. Doesn't seem that bad.
Who’s here after the interview?
Same goes with Megan they use Harry’s title to make money and not her own. Exploiting it and making her own branding. Rebel like Dianna
Except Megan was already a multimillionaire before she Harry.
