Prince William reconsider the future of Duchy of Cornwall before transferring it to Hans and Kate Middleton’s son, Prince George, one day.
The prince of Wales wants to make it something that helps people and supports meaningful causes instead of treating the estate as just an income source.
Talking with TelegraphThe son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana said he sees the Duchy as “another branch” of his charity work and hopes it can do more than just control land and raise money.
“We are not the traditional landowner,” the future king told the publication. “We’ll be more than that.”
He also talked about a “huge problem” and said, “there is a huge problem here and I have no answer.”
“We still ask more and more of our farmers, but you don’t necessarily get any benefits back on top of everything you have to do,” he added.
William revealed that he has appointed Sue Padfield as a new “family breeding ambassador” to act as a roving “listening ear” for farmers throughout the duchies.
He added, “I see the duchy as an extension of the work we are doing with the Royal Foundation. I see it as a branch of my philanthropy.
“There’s so much good we can do in the rural world. I see it as another arm for the work I want to do, which is to be a positive strength for good.”
