In the modern era, the Royal Family remains a symbol of tradition and continuity across the globe. Among its youngest members, Prince George, 10 Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, stand out not just as adorable faces of the monarchy, but as powerful symbols in their own right.

From a young age, George, Charlotte and Louis have captured the hearts of the public and their appearances, whether at royal events, public outings, or through official photographs have caught the attention of royal fans.

The three young royals also hold significant power because of their net worth. Altogether the Firm was estimated to be worth £22 billion ($28 billion) in 2021, with the total sum including the value of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Crown Estate, Buckingham Palace, the Duchy of Cornwall, Kensington Palace and the Crown Estate Scotland.

Many may expect Prince George to be worth the most, as he is the oldest, but according to data from Reader's Digest it is actually who has the highest net worth.

According to the publication, nine-year-old Charlotte is worth £3.92 billion ($5 billion), while George, 10, is worth £2.82 billion ($3.6 billion) and five-year-old Louis is worth between £55 million ($70 million) and £98 million ($125 million).

The huge interest in the children's fashion, especially Charlotte's, and that is what makes her figure higher than her brothers', even though George is the future King.

Known as the "Prince George effect" or "Princess Charlotte effect," their clothing and toys often sell out rapidly after being seen in public. This phenomenon highlights their influence on consumer behaviour and popular culture, making them trendsetters from a very young age.

The late Queen Elizabeth also had at least £662mn in personal assets including an art collection and rare jewels, all of which were passed down to her son, and now reigning monarch, King Charles III. After his father became King, Prince William’s net worth also skyrocketed. It included a £8.7m inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana’s estate, which he received upon turning 30.

Princess Kate meanwhile also received an inheritance from the late Queen, mostly in jewels, which could bump up her net worth from £8 million ($10 million) to over £86 million ($110 million).

Although the Royal Family's net worth hasn't been publicly disclosed, according to Forbes, it was estimated around £22 billion in 2021. This is separate from the late Queen Elizabeth’s personal fortune and assets (about £380.7 million) which were inherited by King Charles, according to the same publication.

The Crown Estate has been estimated to be worth close to £15.6 billion with urban properties valued at £9.1 billion, while it generated an estimated £312.7 million in net revenue by the end of fiscal year 2022.

As Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis grow and assume more responsibilities, their roles in the Royal Family and society will undoubtedly expand, further solidifying their positions as powerful royals of the modern age.
