It has been a challenging year for Prince William as well, dealing with his father's ascension to the throne and Kate's cancer diagnosis. However, the couple is looking ahead to new projects focused on their passions of mental health and early childhood development.
Since founding Heads Together in 2016, William and Kate have made mental health advocacy a core priority. Their latest initiative aims to improve mental health services in rural communities. Hello Magazine also reported the couple is developing an exciting new project to be announced later this year.

All this comes amid a financially prosperous time for William as well. As Duke of Cornwall, he received over $30 million for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The Duchy of Cornwall, valued at over $1 billion, provides income from various estates and assets to support the heir to the throne.

Though he inherited the title and estate mid-year from his father King Charles, William still received a substantial portion of the nearly $29 million earned. After expenses, his income was over $21.6 million. This allows William, Kate and their family to carry out royal duties without regular paychecks.
