Prince William is said to have taken a startling decision ahead of his future royal position, accepting a new task.
The Prince of Wales, who became Duke of Cornwall when his father became King in 2022, allegedly intends to utilize the 700-year-old estate as "another branch of his philanthropy".
The future King is supposed to be on a quest to turn the estate from a typical revenue-generating machine to a force for social good.
However, when Prince William becomes King, the Duchy will be transferred to his eldest son, Prince George.
William characterizes his goal for the Duchy as having a "social impact" rather than being used as a traditional financial resource.
"We are not the typical landowners. William told the Telegraph, "We want to be more than that."
The huge estate covers 128,494 acres in 20 counties, encompassing both rural and urban life. The estate apparently holds a variety of buildings, and the Duchy employs around 150 individuals across eight offices.
The father of three takes a hands-on approach, visiting part of the Duchy every four to six weeks.
William's top aims are to eradicate homelessness, restore waterways, and help farmers' mental health.
